Caroline Verdugo Hills Remixes out today!

Verdugo Hills MixesFollowing the release of Verdugo Hills – the second album from Caroline, the Japanese electronic-pop songstress and Mice Parade alum – a slew of her peers graciously answered our calls for remixes and reinterpretations of every song from the acclaimed album. Not surprisingly, the results are more successful and less ephemeral than most remix albums – a testament not only to the ingenuity of the various remixers on deck, but also Caroline’s weightless, angelic vocals which transcend even the most jarring sonic manipulations. Along with Caroline’s bandmates in Mice Parade, remixers include: Eluvium, Manual, Dntel, Dead Waiter, Lumia, Her Space Holiday, Rory Vallis, Dan Lippel, and JNH. Additionally, the album comes with a free MP3 download code that includes a bonus remix by Doug Scharin of Mice Parade/Codeine/June of 44 fame. (VIA TEMPORARYRESIDENCE.COM)
