Remix of Why Are You Looking Grave? – now with more J

[SimonM]

One of the tracks from Mew’s "and the glass handed kites" album, that features J on vocals, has been remixed by Mogwai for inclusion on the ‘maxi CD’ edition of the single release of this track next month. Whereas J sings one verse plus some backing vocals on the original, this mix is based on J’s vocals alone.

You can hear the mix here:

If you haven’t checked out Mew yet, do it now. I investigated a few weeks ago, purely because of the J connection, but I’ve since bought both albums and got hooked on it. I’m going to their gig in Reading next month.
