Anna B Savage shares Dan Deacon remix of "in|FLUX"

Anna B Savage has released a new remix of her latest single "in|FLUX" by Dan Deacon.

After releasing "in|FLUX" last month as the lead outing from her upcoming second album of the same name, Anna B Savage has unveiled a new remix of the title-track by Dan Deacon.

"I first saw Dan Deacon in 2009- my boyfriend had a spare ticket and I went expecting a totally normal gig experience," Anna B Savage explains. "Instead, I had a totally magnificent, interactive, confusing gleeful, sweaty and expansive time. I can’t believe he knows who I am, let alone that he’s done a remix of my song."

She continues, "I love the jigsaw approach he’s taken to "in|FLUX". His additional choral expanses elevate everything, and also speak so acutely to me as the daughter of professional choral singers. The resolution at the end takes me back to being that sweaty teenager again smashing in to people and dancing around them at his show. I love it and him.'

Deacon adds, "This remix was tricky because the original instrumentation and song structure are perfect and already a non traditional approach. Anna’s arrangements and her choices in how she unfolds them are what drew me to her music. So with this remix I worked backwards from my remix methodology. My goal was to create a track with more traditional structure from her inventive form. Thinking about it this way helped me focus on the vocal harmony growth. Basically my attempt was to keep the energy Anna created while shifting the peaks and valleys around."

in|FLUX will follow Anna B Savage's 2021 debut album A Common Turn, and is produced by Tunng and LUMP's Mike Lindsay.

Dan Deacon's remix of "in|FLUX" is out now. Anna B Savage's album of the same name will be released via City Slang on 17 February 2023, and is available to pre-order now. She'll play London's Village Underground on 28 March 2023. Visit annabsavage.com for tickets.
