|Yeasayer - "Madder Red (DOCTOR ROSEN ROSEN Rx)"

In profiling XXXChange's remix of "O.N.E..," we learned Odd Blood was created with a specific mission: Chris Keating told the NYT the band found "the specific elements, the defining elements, of the last recordand ... eliminate[d] those and create[d] holes. Then [we] ... fill[ed] thoseholes in with other stuff that we like." This remix from Doctor Rosen Rosen, who we've seen put his healing hands on Department Of Eagles and who you've heard name-checked in Fletch, is very much in the vein of Blood, then: Delete the original's chime and flange, fill the gaps with pensive piano, Anand's vocal track preserved then chopped and split, flip to a muscular and quasi-nasty electro-pop latter half that proves Rosen knows his way around a studio console. Ambitious, dope.
