Sounds like: Phoenix, Devendra Banhart, Neighbors
What’s so good?
This cover of Phoenix‘s Rome starts off at the bridge, which is probably my favorite part of the original song, and certainly a highlight of the album. If you had told me that this specific bridge is where this remix started before I’d actually heard the song, I would probably have told you that it would be impossible to achieve the true beautywithout the build up before it. And I don’t think I would have been wrong. But I might have been pleasantly surprised.
Devandra Banhart and Neighbors’ cover of this song lingers in the bridge. It doesn’t leave it, setting a mellow mood throughout, and demonstrating the pure genius of the full album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. To be able to pull out a single bridge and develop an entirely new song is a compliment to both those doing the remix and those being remixed. Personally, I can’t wait to hear each and every unreleased track of the soon to be remixed album. Here’s the track list:
- 1. Lisztomania (Alex Metric Remix)
- 2. Fences (The Soft Pack Remix)
- 3. 1901 Bo Flex’d (Passion Pit Remix)
- 4. Lasso (2 Door Cinema Club Remix)
- 5. Fences (25 Hrs a Day Remix)
- 6. 1901 (L’aiglon Remix)
- 7. Love Like a Sunset (Turzi Remix)
- 8. Fences (Boombass Remix)
- 9. Lisztomania (A Fight For Love – 25 Hrs a Day Remix)
- 10. Fences (Friendly Fires Remix)
- 11. Armistice (YACHT Remix)
- 12. Girlfriend (Young Fathers Remix)
- 13. Fences (Chairlift Remix)
- 14. Rome (Neighbours with Devendra Banhart Remix)
- 15. Love Like a Sunset (Animal Collective Remix – Deakin’s Jam)
expect a couple more of these tracks to be going up quite soon!

This remix is subtle in its attempt to make the song anew, and that’s what makes it oh so brilliant.
