Band of Horses' signature song "The Funeral" is close to a decade old, but Canadian producer Excision has now breathed new life into this 2006 single with a remix.
The beginning of the song is fairly faithful to the original, with gentle guitar arpeggios and reverent singing. Things take a turn at the one-minute mark, however, as a pulse-racing build-up gives way to a booming electronic beat. The tempo is too slow for this to be a proper dance banger, but Excision draws heavily on his dubstep background while also showing restraint and staying relatively true to the structure of the tune.
Hear it below. This is official remix is being sold through Sub Pop right here.
