Snowy Friday afternoons call for one (of many) things: dreamy indie. And who has that dreamy concept down? Well, Atlanta's Deerhunter has the laid-back indie genre down pat, but they get into the land of nod with an oldie called "Helicopter." The track leans on a succession of bells and other percussion instruments, as well as some nice guitar work that doesn't overpower the song. This is what I like to listen to when I'm walking home from an evening class, it makes the city streets a little more fantastical.
And of course, all good songs come with remixes that are just as spectacular. This one, courtesy of my forever favourite Diplo and unknown-to-me Lunice, is how I first heard of Deerhunter back in 2010. This remix is less dreamy indie than the original, and a little more electro. The spattering drums are a nice touch, the vocals are sped up just a touch, and the original melancholy feel isn't lost.
We know he loves you the best.
