Finland/Brooklyn's
Albert Swarm has opened his
Held EP, out last year on
Ceremony, to the remix treatment, enlisting
Sun Glitters,
Courtship,
Papercutz and Ceremony's newest-signee, the Swedish producer
Bam Spacey. Swarm's original, tender productions, where percussion often sounds like it's coming from inside a log and the melody down through raindrops, take on new forms: Sun Glitters' version of Swarm's best track, "
Foundling Wheels," is typically otherworldly; Papercutz shows the widest range, underscoring the beautiful moments of "Recurring Dream" with hints of horror; Bam Spacey handles the club; Courtship sounds heroic. It's sized just right and everything works.
