Of Montreal

"For Our Elegant Caste (Depressed Buttons Remix)" (MP3)

Average Rating: 3.50

The Faint's Todd Fink and Jacob Thiele--who as a duo go by the moniker Depressed Buttons--remix the most immediately catchy song from Of Montreal's Skeletal Lamping, "For Our Elegant Caste." Gone are the bongo drums, anything to help you recognize Kevin Barnes's voice, the campy melodies and the flamboyance. They're replaced by the hollow resonance of modified vocals and a heavy electronic beat, but the lyric "we can do it softcore if you want" can only sound so threatening.

 

The Depressed Buttons remix of "For Our Elegant Caste" is part of the For Our Elegant Caste EP, out June 23 on Polyvinyl.

I'd have to say that I prefer the original, but I prefer Of Montreal to pretty much anything.
