“Get Up Get Out (Bon Iver Remix)“
from the album Sweet Beats, Troubled Sleep (Night of the Furies Remixed)
2008
Justin Vernon‘s remix of “Get Up Get Out” has a bright, cold feeling to it, something like being in a spacious white-walled auditorium with your eyes closed. The chamber echoes that roll away from the piano are clean and detached, but when Ivan Howard sings it’s like he’s sitting right next to you — like he’s your best (or only) friend. Vernon stripped this track down into an eerie, echoing territory, using the minimalist approach to pull off a mix that is equal parts intimate and solitary.
Ivan Howard: “Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) reconstructed ‘Get Up Get Out’ and he helped us to record Night of the Furies so he was already all in it, but it was his remix that I feel like really showcased the sadness in the lyrics on this particular track by bringing the dance drums and the catchy chorus strings down and adding really ethereal, padded vocals.”
THANK YOU! I’m in love with this song and was thrilled to find it here.
