"Over the past 6 months we have been working with some dear friends and have compiled a recording of 11 artists remixing the song of their choice from the album. Each artist was given the session files and let loose to create or recreate the piece of their choice. The results are wonderfully varied and each quite amazing. Being released in August on Western Vinyl digitally and limited run of 2XLP, the album features: Eluvium, Rafael Anton Irisarri, Tiny Vipers, Bexar Bexar, Machinefabriek, The Fun Years, Library Tapes, Jacaszek, Helios, Peter Broderick and Xela."
