MP3: Raw Moans - Somebody 2 Love

Having been following Raw Moans with interest for a little while now, I was stoked to find a message from them in my inbox this morning saying their Safe Sex concept album is over halfway done. Attached was the finished version of this track, produced by Chill Pullman, which reinterprets the Queen song as crisply minimal comedown-r&b that perfectly skirts both luxury and heartache.

The concept is actually really cool too: reworkings of songs from musicians affected by HIV/AIDS. Definitely one worth looking out for if this and the great version of this Arthur Russell track are anything to go by.

MP3: Raw Moans - Rose Bath (Chill Pullman rmx)

The original version of Rose Bath, from San Diego's Raw Moans, was heavy and full of conflict, but this remix from Chill Pullman takes the song's pop heart and kicks it into the stratosphere. Both versions sound vaguely dystopian, but Chill Pullman's dystopia is a little more widescreen: reverb rattling around the void, synths beaming out in a way that's almost startling. This jam, from an excellent Raw Moans remix tape Trivial Pursuit have just put out, ramps up the drama, with a result that sounds almost cinematic (in a stoned kinda way), and totally thrilling.
