Irish electronic duo Solar Bears – fresh from releasing their critically acclaimed third album ‘Advancement’ earlier this year – have received the remix treatment from seminal DJ, producer & IDM Techno forefather Andrew Weatherall.
Reimagining ‘Separate From The Arc’ – ‘Advancement’s’ climactic, swirling & masterfully cathartic closer – Weatherall delivers a left field, darker-toned re-shift, preserving the track's central energy whilst propagating and expanding its percussive elements via glitched-out rhythms and syncopated nuances.
It’s a momentous pairing. Both Solar Bears and Weatherall are masters of analogue and digital collisioning, both striving to reinvent and challenge the electronic music form. A testament to their affinity, Solar Bears were in turn asked to remix ‘Kicking The River’ – a track taken from Weatherall’s latest album Convenanza.
Solar Bear’s third album ‘Advancement’ was released March 18th on Sunday Best Recordings. It’s an epic statement where the individual sounds and phrases may appear familiar to the listener, but when experienced fully provide a powerful soundtrack to the primitive beauty of existence. The cryptic themes and unidentified episodes are wrapped in compelling sensation and emotion, chaos touched by balance, the known inter-twined with the ethereal, cascading rhythms and expansive plateaus of sound.
The duo have garnered support from Boiler Room, Uncut & Resident Advisor, with Fact Mag noting “Advancement floats by in a slow-drift of synthy beauty, from the sparkling ‘Wild Flowers’ to the majestic ‘Man Plus”. Fact also filmed a short video with the duo – exploring their expansive equipment collection and explosive live show.
'Separate From The Arc’ - The Andrew Weatherall Remixes is due for release on July 29th 2016 – available on 12” vinyl (limited to only 300 copies) and also digitally.
