Brown Bread — “Ah (Emily Reo Remix)”

Dwight, Liz, and Jheri have always done wonderful things over at Crash Symbols. Their latest release drips all the way through 25 tracks of various sounds, but it all comes together as one focus in Dope Mountain Fuck Vol. 2. Highlights from this compilation include; the tracks of Oxykitten, Ryan Hemsworth, Main Attrakionz, Ghaza, changemod, and the very track above. But, there’s also a big ‘etc’ after all of those, because everything on here really does deserve a play + repeat.

Specifically, the Emily Reo remix and changemod track made this release that much more special to me. With the remix, Emily takes Brown Bread’s original “Ah” through its slightly quickened sonic-percussion of bells and discounted synth backdrops, leaving behind naturally-produced harmonies. Basically, I will always look forward to anything Emily Reo touches.

This compilation also gives us a preview of the wonderful production behind Nate McKee’s sideproject; changemod. Brushed-over white noise opens the track and Nate’s distant vocals take over from here in the foreground of an all-but-retired drum machine. This goes on and it’s tough not to get lost in its beautifully blended environment.
