I’m not going to lie and pretend we don’t post remixes on this site, because we do.  Ten times out of eleven, however, the remixes are only mildly interesting to me.  Many times I find them revolting and really dislike the way people run with other songs and launch themselves in viral popularity because of someone else’s musicianship.  I suppose, in that sense, it’s a bit of a cop-out.  I haven’t personally posted a Don Diablo track for this exact reason.  Strategically timely email notifications about new mixes don’t appeal to me usually.

This is why hit’s nice to get a good one that flies through our inboxes.  It’s also nice to see an actual rock band mixing things up a bit.  Additionally, it’s also nice when a band that is successful in its own right decides to tackle another successful track.  It shouldn’t be a secret that The Soft Pack released a hell of an album in the early months of this year.  I’ve mentioned it on numerous occasions as one of my favorites of the year.  The Soft Pack’s gutsy garage sound is a huge boon to Phoenix’s “Fences.” The upcoming remix album that’s bound to explode the internet really benefits from versions like this.  Most of the tracks I’ve heard leave me indifferent.  The Soft Pack, however,  packages it up just the way I like it.  Slurred with gravelly non-chalance and a sneer.  Word.  Enjoy the tune.
