Xiu Xiu, Ibibio Sound Machine and more feature on new Andrew Jim Gannon remix EP, Hydrate Those Folds! Refolded
Andrew Jim Gannon has announced his new remix EP, Hydrate Those Folds! Refolded, and released a new version of "Psychic Nights" by Ibibio Sound Machine.
Hydrate Those Folds! Refolded consists of reworks of standout tracks from his album Hydrate Those Folds!, released earlier this year, with contributions from Xiu Xiu, Douglas Dare, LOVE SUPREME and Ibibio Sound Machine.
On "Psychic Nights (Ibibio Sound Machine Remix)", the Nigerian-British collective offer a fresh take on Gannon's original track. "Ibibio Sound Machine have long had a place on my speakers, so I was thrilled to have them remix 'Psychic Nights'," he says. "Then to hear Eno's vocals joining the track was a complete joy."
Speaking about the EP, Gannon continues: "It's so exciting handing over a song and having no idea what will come back. Xiu Xiu, LOVE SUPREME, Douglas Dare and Ibibio Sound Machine are all artists who've inspired me in different ways, and each of them found something completely different in these tracks. Hearing my songs come back in these strange and beautiful forms has been incredible."
