Trippple Nippples — Golden Road (Oli Chang Remix) (2012)

More beautiful sounds from the Tokyo dream team, Trippple Nippples, re-imagined by remix wizard Oli Chang. (you can hear the original on the Trippple Nippples soundcloud)

I was lucky enough to catch the girls’ Glasslands show last month, an audio freakout with a jaw-dropping stage show to match. Catch them if you can… (bring earplugs)

yvynyl:

In this past week the High Highs’ Oli Chang has dropped half a dozen amazing new remixes over on his Sndcld.  Don’t miss his redo of Empire of the Sun’s “Walking on the Sun” and Millionyoung “Replicants” - all stripped naked and repainted with piano and atmospherics.  Absolutely lovely.

Oh, and speaking of the women of Tokyo’s Trippple Nippples… I can’t wait to tell you about #MEGABLAAG SXSW 2012. Sayin’. Shhhh. Here. Shhhh.

The Persians — Get a Hold of Yourself (1963)

Here’s a single from The Persians, a girl group that, judging by this lone 7”, made one tiny blip on the hit radar and then faded away. The songwriters were Bill Giant, Bernie Baum and Florence Kaye—the same team behind Elvis’ ‘Devil in Disguise,’ also in 1963. If you’re a fan of Phil Spector and The Crystals I think you’re gonna like the way this single channels the Wall of Sound, with clattering percussion and keys.

Here’s The Persians in the ‘Singles Spotlight’ of Billboard’s March 16, 1963 issue.
