Jockstrap – “Red Eye” (Feat. Ian Starr)
Last year, Band To Watch Jockstrap (UK duo Georgia Ellery and Taylor Skye) released their debut album, I Love You Jennifer B. Today, they’re announcing I<3UQTINVU, a fully remixed version of that album. Shorthand for “I Love You Cutie, I Envy You,” I<3UQTINVU is coming November 3 and features guest spots from Ersatz and IAN STARR. Accompanying the remix album is its lead single “Red Eye” featuring IAN STARR. “Red Eye” also has a video shot by Liam Noonan, Starr, and Jockstrap at Connect Festival.
“Some of these remixes are almost three years old and some are only six months old,” says Skye of I<3UQTINVU. “I made most of them really quickly, in a day or so. It keeps me sane to do this whilst mixing the album. I don’t really remember making them. It’s like eating too much and then throwing up and this is what comes out. It’s a weird feeling but also really fun. I felt very happy making some of this music and live it will be quite the show.”
IAN STARR adds of “Red Eye”: “I love making songs that push the limits of my vocality and energy, and I went all-out in efforts to craft the craziest performance possible on ‘Red Eye.’ Whenever I write a song, I always have the live audience in mind; performing this at my first festival with Jockstrap made me feel really great about the result! The crowd’s energy felt amazing & I’m so excited to perform it for everyone who comes to the U.S. tour!”
