A member of Handsome Boy Modeling School and Deltron3030, producer of Gorillaz’ debut album and a contributor to dozens of film and television scores, Dan The Automator brings his hazy, intergalactic-inspired West Coast hip hop sensibilities to this catchy rendition.

"It was a pleasure to work on the Foxwarren remix,” said Dan The Automator of their collaboration. “It (the track) just made sense to me and I hope that comes through in the final mix."

Last month Foxwarren shared electronic avant-pop artist Helado Negro’s warmly pulsing remix of their song “Yvonne”. Listen to it HERE. Describing his approach to the song, Negro explained: “I wanted to create a sense of wistful dancing—a mellow bump of bouncing bass, subtle dissonance from the rearranging of the strings, and asymmetrical shapes in the phrases. A smoke screen of soft reverbs and hard-to-hold chords. Andy’s voice has a texture of its own, a beautiful landscape from a distance, and is full of delightful surprises as you listen closer.”

‘2’ became an uncanny revelation for Foxwarren, a rock band allowing itself to be sampled in order to become something else. They warped and pushed the florid folk-rock of their past until it evolved into a song cycle about the vagaries of love, where voices sampled from the past commingled with songs that sparkled with the power of their collective imagination in the present. It is a fun and surprising record, where boundaries between genre and song are constantly blurred.

By himself, Shauf has already had a stellar career; his reputation built not only by the sweetness of his melodies and sharpness of his words but also his inability to rest with past success. Foxwarren, especially here, is a crucial part of that ongoing process, but ‘2’ represents something even more significant—five friends now nearing the end of their second decade making music together, pushing against what they’ve learned how to do to venture somewhere new. It is the sound of friends who trust each other, cutting themselves loose from their past and their preconceptions to have some fun with a sampler and the very idea of songs.
