John Carpenter Turning The Bones Chvrches Remix (Blue Pink Clear Marble)

Scottish synth pop sensations Chvrches have a history of commissioning remixes for each of their chart topping albums. Given the cinematic concept of theirlatest Screen Violence they wanted to get a composer involved who worked inthat universe. Singer and percussionist Lauren Mayberry said that the masterof horror John Carpenter was the top of their wish list elaborating that "Hisfilms and music have been so impactful on us over the years, and without thestories he created I am not sure that the concept of Screen Violence (and femalenarratives within the album) would exist in the way they do." They decided toreach for the stars and contact Carpenter's team and to their delight Carpenter was excited by the idea.Lauren continues "As horror fans, we know that John Carpenter is thegodfather and the gold standard and we're so excited to get to work with himin any capacity... we never really thought he'd reply, let alone that he'd sendback something better than the original." Carpenter's remix of the Chvrchessong "Good Girls," created alongside his creative partners Cody Carpenter andDaniel Davies, enhances the depths of the song's already infectious synthesizermelodies and adds his signature slightly sinister swagger and groove."We chose the track we did because we connected with it the most and felt itwould adapt best to our style," Carpenter said of the song choice. "After wefinished our remix, we asked them if they could also remix one of our songs inreturn, and they thought it was a great idea." Carpenter could hear the strengthof combining these two vastly different but stylistically symbiotic sounds andChvrches was more than happy to oblige. They chose a standout track fromCarpenter's recent Lost Themes III album "Turning the Bones" and the resultingremix is equally as dynamic and unique. Collaborating across genres and generations these artists have honored a deep respect from one another. The resultingsingles will be available on limited edition 7" records while supplies last
