Portugal. The Man

For the past few weeks, Tycho has been teasing two new remixes. It’s been hard to contain my excitement. Scott Hansen, as you know, has a precious Midas touch. He handles our beloved songs and makes them shimmer in unfathomable ways. I am surprised and delighted by what Tycho has just unveiled— two remixes of the same song, Portugal. The Man’s 2017 “Live in the Moment.” There is a “Sunrise” and “Sunset” remix. I wouldn’t dream of comparing them to each other. Each is like a gemstone. How does a sapphire outshine an emerald? Treasure them both, you fool.  In a coin flip decision, I’m spotlighting the “Sunrise” remix.  Please take care to listen to both versions. Float between Tycho’s airy, instantly-recognizable synths, and Portugal. The Man’s hazy song for all summers. If you love either of these artists, you will immediately latch on to this brilliant new take.
