IT’S a marriage made in (sonic) heaven: new-skool Yorkshire shoegazers bdrmm have debuted a remix of their current single, “Reason To Celebrate” by Ride man Andy Bell.
Working under his GLOK nom-de-plume, Andy has taken the anthemic original – with its yearning refrain and towering guitars very much in the early Creation-era Ride vein and given it dubby room in a longform rerub that recalls the electronica shoegaze work of Ulrich Schnauss.
And it seems like the collaboration was indeed a meeting of minds. Bdrmm’s drummer Luke Irvin said: “In my first ever band we used to cover ‘Vapour Trail’ by Ride and now Mr Ride has remixed one of our tracks! It’s mindblowing!”. Andy replied: ““To know them is to love them.”.
| The original version of ‘A Reason To Celebrate’ is taken from the band’s hotly anticipated debut album, Bedroom, due for release on July 3rd. The GROK remix is available now across all digital platforms: You Tube, Spotify, Souncloud and Apple Music. |
