Boy & Bear – Mexican Mavis (Snapdragons Remix) (free download)

October 25, 2012

Sounds similar to: Powderfinger, Ewert & The Two Dragons, Little Birdy

Hi there, Dr. Whuzzerface here.

Remixes, those wonderful, and sometimes fatally awful, re-imaginings of another song.  This particular re-creation takes a song that is acoustically soft, slow, gentle, picks it up out of it’s Mumford-ish doldrums, folds it in on itself, and chucks it into the stylings of yesteryear.  This is dubbed by Snapdragons as a Retro Remix but also it begins to sound akin to a few La Roux keyboard riffs and bass lines.

You’ll have a real TREAT from this TRICK of remixing! The treat being that if you follow the player above, you can download this for FREE!!!

For a song so fun, it’s hard to believe there are only 36 “Likes” on their Facebook page, but I suppose they’re just starting out. Makes me excited to see what more they have in store!
