A spicy tidbit for fans... Or a new dimension to the sound of the best Basque band.
Celebrating the release of their amazing fourth LP “Backbone Ritmo”, Munster releases in CD and vinyl this “Gone” single, a song which represents rather perfectly the spirit and indeed the name itself of “Backbone Ritmo”: as Rober! (guitar and vocals) himself says, “a song to dance with, twisting, contorting. throwing your bones out of their joints”. And if the original song is like this, wait ‘til you hear the remixes!!
It’s a simple story, according to Rober!: “We picked them up to do the work do to the admiration and mutual respect. We like their work and they like ours”. And so, Guillermo Piccolini (ex Pachuco Cadaver, now in Venus) and Josetxo Anitua (Cancer Moon) started working in their remixes. With a hit like that in their hands, it was difficult that the result was any bad. But both of them give the song a new edge with a personal sound, much more danceable, two perfect items to confuse the rock guys, who will not understand this so easily. But boy, Atom Rhumba love risk! In any case, Josetxo gives a key: “I’ve done a remix with respect to the original song, making it more danceable, it’s a rock remix to dance with”.
So to sum up, “Gone” is an interesting, daring and -most important- enjoyable experiment that breaks with the orthodox creed of what a rock band must and must-not be, and which proofs that Atom Rhumba are interested in two things above everything: dance and rythm!!
And stay tuned... Soon-to-come series of more A.R. songs remixed by some of the most important names of both in and out of Spain are at forecast!
