Fever Ray - If I Had a Heart (Fuck Buttons Remix)

Found this one on Pitchfork/Stereogum this morning and it RULES:

Apparently Karin Dreijer from The Knife has a solo album that's about to come out complete with a slowburner first single to turn away the uninitiated. Anyway, in order to secretly counteract that, she got who else but FUCK BUTTONS to do a remix! You can check it out here:

The remix has the same general vibe as that transcendent Mogwai Fear Satan remix they did last year. Lots of buzzing, tribal backbeats and spiraling original song loops build to an epic swarm. IT ROCKS.

On an unrelated note: construction on the Leaning Tower of Pisa began in 1173. It's actually a bell tower for the chapel next door. It has seven bells - one for each of the notes in the scale! (don't count Do twice)
