"Brat-pop" duo HOLYCHILD have twisted and contorted Marina and The Diamonds' flighty FROOT number "Blue" into jerky shapes.
Fluttering beats and Alice and Wonderland string swoops meet Marina Diamandis' ebullient vocals, injecting a witchy trap feel to the track - it's been hacked apart and Frankensteined back together.
Diamandis' FROOT is out now on Atlantic; HOLYCHILD's The Shape Of Brat Pop To Come is out now on Glassnote.
Stream the remix below via Stereogum, and then look over the original version afterwards.
