When I received Alex and Drew’s – The Chainsmokers – press release I was on the floor laughing. If you’ve been a fan of their music for a while you might already know that they are two hilarious dudes. Their latest record is a remix of Daughter‘s ‘Medicine’. Here is what they had to say about it – straight out of the press release email:
Basically we heard this tune on a cold winter day in New York and fell head over heals for it. We were already very familiar with Daughter but as soon we heard this song we knew we had to give it a try. We loved that ‘Medicine’ for the fact that you couldn’t really tell of the song was happy or sad, and that appealed to us a lot. So we got to work and It was a lot of back and forth for us because we needed a symmetry between her soft vocals and our own production that appealed to the ambiguity of the song itself, so we slowly built it up with warm plucks and drums that complimented Daughters production nicely, adding up the layer after layer till you feel this great tension in the song as it goes from this really uplifting vibe to something that maybe this isn’t entirely so.
If you dig it, support them by liking their Facebook page, downloading their tune, and spreading the word.
