Drum specialist and composer Tim Kuhl let loose his newest release 1982 last summer but we hadn’t heard the last of that album just yet, because he handed over a track to Wilco keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen for a little pixie dust remix job. That Soundcloud above is the world’s first taste of the results.
“Wave (of Dreams)” concluded 1982, a ‘vibe’ tune I previously described as “pillowy, Euro electro-pop.” Jorgensen recharacterized the track with the help of vocoder, underscored with the repeating phrase “waves of dreams” sung like Autotune cranked up to 11, and a on-again off-again dance groove. EDM isn’t something you might expect from Kuhl or a member of Wilco, but the transformation of the song is move-inducing and a little intriguing as well.
It’s also a signal that no areas of music are off limits for exploration by the multi-talented The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger drummer. Could a country version of “White (k)Night” be in the cards next? I wouldn’t rule it out.
