This is the second remix of "Little Talks" in as many weeks that I've decided to post. I wouldn't normally post multiple remixes of the same track, however, I think this new one by Bombay Bicycle Club is worth it. I haven't heard much from these guys in a little while, so it's good to hear something new - check it out.
Secret 7” is an exciting project which combines music and art.
As part of Record Store Day, Secret 7” aims to reignite some of the lost excitement of record sleeves in the digital age.
The Idea Generation Gallery in London’s Shoreditch is exhibiting roughly 700 seven-inch sleeves inspired by the tracks of 7 bands: The Cure, Noah & The Whale, Florence & The Machine, DJ Shadow, Ben Howard, CSS and Bombay Bicycle Club. These are on display from Wednesday 18th April until Sunday the 22nd from 10am-6pm.
The air of mystery or the ‘secret’ in the Secret 7” is that no-one will know which artist designed which sleeve or which of the seven tracks is housed inside. Although, I think this one you might be able to guess.
As well as supporting independent record stores and vinyl sales these sleeves will be available to buy next Saturday, 21st April- Record Store Day- until Sunday 22nd April, for a minimum donation of £40 to Teenage Cancer Trust.
The sleeves were designed by artists, designers, musicians and teenagers whom the Teenage Cancer Trust has helped.
Below is one of the seven tracks, all seven can be found on the here.
'Shuffle' by Bombay Bicycle Club has really grown on me over the last couple of weeks, so it was a pleasant surprise to discover that Bibio has done an excellent remix of this very track - check it out below.
Bombay Bicycle Club release their next LP, 'A Differen't Kind of Fix' this month on Universal Records.
