Post War Years‘ “All Eyes†is already somewhat of a trippy listen, but Brighton-based producer Eagles For Hands‘ glitchy take on the track transforms it into a beast of a totally different nature. Equal parts experimental electro and hip-hop, this remix is well worth a listen. Download it below. Post War Years’ Galapagos is available now on Chess Club/RCA. MP3: Post War Years – ...

As my music interests–and personal relationships–have evolved since then, so too have the mixes. The twee innocence of the first mix (see: The Postal Service, The Long Winters) and my high school self has transforme...
