New Music: Tilly and the Wall: "The Freest Man (CSS Remix)" [MP3/Stream]
People used to make fun of that Cher comeback song, didn't they? Pretty silly. The "Believe" vocoder/Auto-Tune effect is all over Brazilian electro-punks CSS's remix of "The Freest Man", originally from Omaha-based Tilly and the Wall's 2006 sophomore LP, Bottoms of Barrels. CSS replace the album version's shimmying electronic beats with a full-on 4x4 club stomp, stripping off the sprightly acoustic guitars to turn Tilly and the Wall's bright indie-pop into a cheery dancefloor anthem. Makes sense for a song about a boy with "a heart of glass", right? The result is more melodic than CSS's latest remix, of the Cribs' "Men's Needs", but no less playful-- pass the "Alcohol".
