This post is brought to you by the letter 'M'

Things we like that begin with ‘M’:

1) Metronomy
2) Modernaire
3) Mthe remixular activities of 1) and 2)

With that in mind, you can imagine the sex gasket we blew upon learning that noire-pop rascals and friends of the blog Modernaire have ‘turned in’ a remix of Joseph Mount and co.’s ‘Heartbreaker’, taken from the upcoming and hotly-awaited Metronomy album.

The mix strips away the intricately-orchestrated production of the original (which is a bit kitchen sink at times, if we’re honest) in favour of a darkly subtle retelling that uses a tight fidgety bassline and cut-up vocals to paint a danceworthy picture of the titular aorta-botherer.

Some people have expressed concerns that the mix might be a bit tame but we disagree. The last minute or so is fucking mental if you turn it up loud. It’s the sort of track that gets better the longer you have it on repeat. It is brilliant. We’d post it for you to make your own minds up but we’ve been threatened with nuclear extermination if that happens.

What do you think of this new addition to the Modernaire remix ’cannon’ (even though you haven‘t heard it)? Is it docile? Is it amazing? Leave us a comment below!
