If you're not yet acquainted with the music of
Helsinki's Husky Rescue then I would strongly
point you in the direction of their Country Falls
album, but would also advise you to supplement this
with their EPs, for they have a pleasing knack of
securing imaginative remixers. I say "their"
advisedly, since the project is the brainchild of
Marko Nyberg, supplemented by choice vocalists and
players.
The dreamy City Lights is a treat, with hints of country
music round the edge of the mostly electronic picture,
a kind of even sleepier Royksopp.
Product.01's remix will jolt you out of your
slumber, however, being an electro-house mash of bleeps that
still does justice to the vocal. Most surprising is
the version from Vector Lovers, opting for
simplicity in placing the vocal upfront and dressing
it with a light accompaniment of electronic
figures.
Nyberg and charges made a recent impact supporting
Morcheeba on their UK tour, appearing also at
Glastonbury and Wireless. Let's hope it's not long
before they return to these shores.
