ABOUT THIS ITEM

Following the stunning original version of Torn Sail’s 'Birds' was always going to be a tough one for Claremont 56, but they’ve mangaged to pull it off in fine style with another pair of amazing remixes of this beautiful song.

Side A sees the on fire Cos/Mes take up the challenge to deliver a hypnotic, tranced-out electro-bossa dub rework that swims in atmospehere bobbing along weightily into a heady subaquatic jungle of percussion and guitar. It some how completely locks you in and come the finish, Huw Costin’s vocal and a hazily strummed guitar makes you feel like you’ve made it back to the beach. Flip over for Frankie Valentine’s version which steps up the sun-dappled fuzziness and retains the motorik pulse of the original, delivering a wigged-out psyched-up cosmic rock finish to the proceedings. The tripped out keyboards are by one of Germany's top session and studio keyboard players, Xavier Fischer.

A great pairing to the original 12” and another winner for Claremont 56.
