Stream Moonlight Director Barry Jenkins & Chopstars’ Chopped & Screwed Grizzly Bear Album Purple Veckatimest / Painted Ruins
Well, here’s a fascinating cultural intersection for you: Moonlight director Barry Jenkins has teamed with DJ Candlestick, a member of Houston collective OG Ron C & the Chopstars, to produce chopped and screwed versions of two Grizzly Bear albums, 2009’s Veckatimest and this year’s Painted Ruins. Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste tweeted about the project, writing, “Can’t believe the director of my favorite movie last year ‘Moonlight’ did a full on chopnotslop remix of both Veck and Painted Ruins!!!” Jenkins replied, “yr music means the world to me.” As Pitchfork points out, a pivotal scene in Moonlight featured a chopped and screwed remix of Jidenna’s “Classic Man.” Stream Purple Veckatimest / Painted Ruins below.
