Back in March, we posted the video for " Howl ," a truly excellent plainspoken pop single from the teenage British singer Chlöe Howl. The Portland electro-pop duo YACHT have now remixed that track, turning it into full-blooded, fleet-footed dance-pop that wouldn't sound out of place on the new Disclosure album (which, I feel compelled to point out again, fucking rules .) It's a great remix, and you can hear it below. Read More...

In 1969, the French avant-pop singer Brigitte Fontaine recorded an intense, absorbing song called " Le Goudron " with free-jazz greats the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. It's one of those icy examples of spaced-out continental cool that you usually only hear on indie-film soundtracks or on the Spotify playlists of friends whose music-history knowledge is much, much deeper than your own. And today, Portland synth sprites YACHT have covered the song, keeping some of its aura but transforming it into a blippy dance banger. That apocalyptic French deadpan looks good on YACHT; this might be the best thing I've yet [...]
