Eight and a Half

"Scissors" (Small Black remix)

BY Alex HudsonPublished Dec 9, 2011

Eight and a Half have yet to release their self-titled debut album, but they've already earned plenty of attention, thanks to a lineup that includes members of Broken Social Scene and the Stills. Clearly, this has attracted the interest of Small Black, as the chillwavers just rolled out a remix of the single "Scissors."

This track sounds a lot more like the remixers than the remixees, as Small Black speed up the mournful tune (resulting in pitch-shifted vocals) and add a denser wash of static-laden, disco-dazzled electronics. The result is a bit like Alvin and the Chipmunks doing a dreamy dance pop number.
