The Silver Lake Chorus Remixes
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Los Angeles indie-choral group The Silver Lake Chorus released their album of remixes via Six Degrees Records.

Last week, Stereogum premiered starRo's remix of the Flaming Lips-penned "Heavy Star Movin,'" which they said "orbits with a bouncing groove that still never dips too far below the skyline."

In 2015, The Silver Lake Chorus released their debut self-titled full-length to overwhelming critical acclaim. Praised by The Wall Street Journal, Stereogum, Consequence of Sound, A.V. Club, KCRW, and NME, the album features arrangements of rare and new tracks written for the Chorus by Sia, The Bird and The Bee, The New Pornographers, Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), and many more.

For the new album of remixes, The Silver Lake Chorus enlisted expert texturalists like Nashville-based guitar duo Hammock, Carmen Rizzo (formerly of Niyaz), Japanese producer starRo, guitar experimentalist/soundtrack composer David Torn, and more.


In 2010, Australian singer Ben Lee attended a rehearsal of the recently formed group and sat among TSLC members as they sang their cover of Beck�s �Lonesome Tears." Blown away by how the song had been �reinvented into this massive Russian Gregorian chant," Lee suggested the chorus take a completely original indie rock approach to the ancient choral art form. He signed on to produce their debut album and reached out to other artists and friends, asking them to write new music for the chorus. Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, Wayne Coyne and Stephen Drozd of The Flaming Lips, John Roderick of The Long Winters, Inara George and Greg Kurstin of The Bird and the Bee, A.C. Newman of The New Pornographers, Aimee Mann, Sia, Tegan and Sara, and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver all responded with songs.

The resulting eponymous debut album was a distinctly unique musical experience, giving original indie rock songs a lush and highly-tailored choral treatment. Some songs were performed entirely a cappella, while others included drums, synths, string arrangements and other instrumental touches.

Six Degrees Records has collaborated with The Silver Lake Chorus to put the beautiful tracks from their debut into the hands of a diverse and talented cast of remixers, who�ve taken the material in new and exciting directions.
Buy the album on iTunes or Amazon.
