LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/
Earshot Media) - Glasgow's
Twin Atlantic has teamed up with www.Altpress.com to offer music fans an exclusive stream of the brand new 'Skrillex Remix' of its latest single, 'What Is Light? Where Is Laughter?'
The song was remixed by Twin Atlantic fan Skrillex (AKA Sonny Moore of Sonny/From First to Last fame) and can be streamed here: https://altpress.com/features/twinatlanticremix.htm.
"It reminds us of driving too fast in our friends' cars when they just passed their tests and going to Archaos Club in Glasgow on a Friday night for the dancing,' Twin Atlantic singer/guitarist Sam McTrusty explains. 'Sonny has put his own spin on our song and we really respect that."
"I had a lot of fun doing this remix,' Moore points out. 'It was my first time dealing with a Scottish a cappella, not to mention a track that wasn't done to a click, which was a little bit of a challenge. On top of that it was the first drum and bass track I attempted to make which is a total different monster than house or electro as far as mix goes. But nonetheless, it was a great pleasure to do this remix. It always helps when the vocal performance emits that special 'thing' we can't really put our fingers on but know when it's there."
The Scottish rockers deliver a powerful performance in vivid color in the brand new music video for the original track which was shot in downtown Los Angeles by Hannah Lux Davis. Praised by Alternative Press for their "thick, late-90s post-hardcore influenced beats intermingling with spacey guitar noodles," Twin Atlantic has already shared stages with the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, Circa Survive and Taking Back Sunday and just wrapped up a UK tour with Fall of Troy.
