Listen: Korallreven mixtape #3, ahead of debut album release

To the untrained eye Acéphale duo Korallreven may look like Rhod Gilbert and Mr Hudson have teamed up for an unlikely collaboration, but avid readers will know that these pair of Swedes are actually putting out some of most free-flowing electronica at the moment.

Take their recent remixing of none other than pop’s fallen princess Britney Spears for example. Or their last two mixtapes, the first ‘A Dream by Korallreven’ which saw the two take on the likes of jj and Justin Bieber and then ‘Another Dream’ which saw them toy with everyone from The Radio Dept to SALEM and right through to Zomby and Gucci Mane.

Missed these the first time round? Well, don’t worry as they’re coming at us with a whole new batch of goodies so you won’t feel so left out. Below you can hear the duo’s third mixtape to date ‘A Dream Within A Dream’ (and yes, there are some Inception soundbites), as they take apart and reassemble some of their favourite tunes of the past twelve months. The Britney mix is obviously on there, just a few tracks in, accompanied by a whole host of new reworkings of This Is Head, Ciara and The Velvet Underground.

That not enough? Good, they thought you’d say that. Following the success of singles ‘Loved-Up’, ‘The Truest Faith’ and ‘Honey Mine’ comes the announcement of their much-anticipated debut album, the succinctly named An Album By Korallreven, which features guest appearances from Julianna Barwick and Taken By Trees‘ Victoria Bergsman.

An Album is scheduled for release on 15 November. First taken single ‘As Young As Yesterday’ drops shortly. Bookmark us and be the first to know.
