Everything Everything - 'Don't Try' (Brandt Brauer Frick Remix)

Brandt Brauer Frick || Website || Facebook || Soundcloud

Have you heard German experimental techno trio Brandt Brauer Frick's  wonderfully chaotic remix of Everything Everything's single 'Don't Try'?

Brand Brauer Frick explain their reworking of Don't Try better than we could:
"Everything Everything sent us really great material to work with. At first we didn't even notice that some of the vocal tracks they had sent us hadn't even ended up in their final version. So in our remix, you can actually hear some vocal parts that are not in their original song. As always when we remix, we played a lot of new instrumental takes. Here we recorded especially some additional drums, some Juno-106 chords and FX and some Moog bass parts. We wanted to do a more groove-based, dirty and melancholic version of Don't Try."


You can catch the  remix below and remind yourself of the official video for Don't Try, as directed by EE's frontman Jonathan Higgs, here.

Video: Everything Everything - Don't Try

'Don't Try' is the fourth song to be taking from Manchester based four-piece Everything Everything's second, critically acclaimed album 'Arc'. The single is set for release on June 16th and as front man Jonathan Higgs explains:

 "'Don't Try' is about letting go of control of your emotions. It's a celebration of feeling for good or for ill and a plea to let it show." 

 

The single is accompanied by a great, engaging video that once again  shows Everything Everything defying the cliches of what a typical 'indie' band from Manchester are supposed to be. Self directed by Jonathan Higgs, he explains the inspiration for the video:

 " 'Don't Try'' is about letting it out and this video is all about absolute abandon. You can keep it in inside but it always comes out in the end one way or another, or it destroys you. I was inspired by the way repressing a mind can often make a person wildly creative, and I thought lot of dark imagery in paintings of hell were especially direct. I wanted to try and bring classic paintings to life in as much colour and expression as possible. "
