Scottish post-rock legends Mogwai stretch out ˜Burn On™ into a scorching, warbling drone that flips the original sombre subtlety for grandeur and in-your-face majesty. Factory Floor member Nik Colk Void offers up a wayward, statically charged reworking of ˜Nite Hive™ which reimagines the track™s solemn beauty as a heads down roller and Throbbing Gristle™s Cosey Fanni Tutti™s dystopian, avant-garde and jazz tinged electronics are deployed alongside her signature Cornet to flip the album single ˜Carry Me™. Shelter Press label founder, producer and visual artist Félicia Atkinson also appears plus Houndstooth mainstay Throwing Snow. Icelandic multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Jófrí¨ur …kadóttir aka JFDR injects nimble rhythms and guitar into piano ballad ˜Maeve™. Poppy Akroyd, Savages producer Jonny Hostile, Oneohtrix Point Never and Tim Hecker collaborator and Sigur Ros™ musical director Paul Corley, delivers a forlorn take on ˜Nite Hive™, whilst Swedish duo Aasthma (Peder Mannerfelt + Pär Grindvik) take album single ˜Connector™ to an entirely different realm.
