PC Music's Danny L Harle has reworked "All The Sad Young Men", the striking new single from Spector, into a spluttering Chipmunked maelstrom.
No longer the grimacing electro belter from Fred MacPherson & Co., draped in morose elegance and indie-pop hooks galore, Danny L Harle - a compadre of Hannah Diamond on A.G. Cook's secretive society of sonic shamans - twists it from top-to-bottom into a piece of lurchy, crumbling, bubblegum-doom with a callous disregard for form, structure and flow. Just as you think you can dance to it, Harle whips the rug out like the weirdest game of musical statues. It's a strange rework, but it sure is fascinating.
