Hidden Shoal Recordings has announced the release of the Tin Man remix of the debut single by Perth-based multi-instrumental pop quintet Apricot Rail.
The original debut single, ‘Pouring Milk Out The Window’, saw Apricot Rail produce some of the most discretely charming, lush instrumental pop music you’re likely to hear all year. Delicate, bell-like arpeggiated guitar weaves around snaking clarinet and flute, while the beautifully held back yet sanguine rhythm section drives the whole thing into a blurred, sun-soaked horizon. Without losing a drop of empathy for the original’s delicate warmth, Perth-based producer Tin Man (aka Justin Manzano) has managed to deconstruct and morph the track it into a slowly brewing electronic anthem. The remix exudes a loping grandeur that is hard not to abandon yourself to. Rather than forcing its own rhythmic agenda, Tin Man’s ‘Spilt Milk’ remix both amplifies and distills the exquisite feel of the original.
‘Pouring Milk Out The Window (Tin Man Spilt Milk Remix)’ is available now for free download from the Hidden Shoal Store. While you’re there check out Apricot Rail’s acclaimed debut album and then head to Myspace to find out more about the wonderful Tin Man.
