The black, dice-uhh


The DFA remix is still the king, but for me this Luomo remix has become the sleeper hit of Black Dice's "Smiling Off" remix record -- surprising since I thought Luomo's much-hyped Present Lover pretty much sounded like the soundtrack to gaunt models getting wasted instead of a redemption of the cliches of said soundtrack. This track retains very little of the original, from Black Dice's Broken Ear Record, but the grittier source material serves to ground Luomo's breathy style in something more substantial. Out on DFA / Astralwerks.
