New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Dive Index is sharing the new video for "She's Exploding" (Mike Lindsay/Tunng Remix) via MXDWN. Along with the premiere comes the announcement of Dive Index's Refolded: Waving At Airplanes Remixes, which is due out on May 21st, 2021 via Neutral Music.
Refolded: Waving At Airplanes Remixes is the sixth full-length album from electronic composer/producer Will Thomas' collaborative Dive Index project. The original Waving At Airplanes appeared last spring, at the height of the early pandemic turmoil. Exposé Online described it as "stellar, full of imaginative touches and interesting echoes," while Electronic Sound compared it to "reading a short novel, energies and perspectives shifting throughout."
The isolation of lockdown gifted Will an opportunity to revisit a record that had been undeservedly overshadowed by global events. Relocating his studio to the bucolic Ojai Valley, 90 minutes north of his Los Angeles base (in part to escape the noise of a certain Irish singer's new crib being built on the hillside above), he set out to reinterpret and remix songs from Waving At Airplanes.
Will also invited Mike Lindsay of Tunng to remix the song "She's Exploding," and channeled his minimalist-electronic Plumbline moniker in reimagining the album's title track with help from revered cellist Alison Chesley (aka Helen Money). These new versions are more deliberate, beat-focused, and at times darker/heavier than the originals songs. Moods oscillate between understated house ("Wish I Had a Pulse") and hip hop-inflected atmospherics ("Near Enough'), to the fluttering, shadowy brooding of "We Can't Change the Channel," and the title track's nuanced, stripped-back strings.
