TRACK OF THE NIGHT: Blue Skies (The Twelves Remix)


Noah And The Whale / Blue Skies (The Twelves Remix)

Noah And The Whale have really come into their own this year with the release of their sophomore masterpiece The First Days Of Spring, in which they show off a much more mature sound which reaches great new heights of indie folk epicness compared to the less expansive sounds of their debut. Blue Skies is a definite highlight with its poignant lyrics, lush arrangement and beautifully hopeful message it really has a fantastically positive vibe. In the hands of The Twelves the feel good factor is rammed up to 100 as the track is transformed into a hip-shaking indie delight. The original's lush acoustic guitar pieces are now replaced with a truly funky guitar jam which rides the track along at a fantastic pace as a refreshing mixture of cow bells, the occasional synth and some lovely flourishes of piano ensue. A subtle yet highly infectious remix for whenever you feel like smiling.
