One of the world’s most prolific downtempo producer’s Bonobo, aka Simon Green, has remixed London Grammar’s Hey Now, almost a year after its release on their debut album If You Wait. And he’s done a job so splendid, it’s hard to put it into words.
It’s an unbelievably gorgeous and soulful remix, with a completely different arrangement from the original. He’s added clipped guitars and beautiful atmospheric sounds, but still manages to centre them around Hannah Reid’s angelic voice, leaving her stirring vocals intact. He’s upped the tempo, just slightly, and added a heavier drum beat, all the while maintaining the song’s raw emotion.
The remix is released as part of their Hey Now EP, which you can buy off iTunes, here.
