Iconic band Crowded House have teamed up with fellow New Zealand rock band Unknown Mortal Orchestra to deliver a brand-new remix of their current single To The Island .
The To The Island Unknown Mortal Orchestra remix is accompanied by a psychedelic visualizer and is also set to appear on a forthcoming 7” vinyl, along with the previously released To The Island Tame Impala remix.
“Another artist we in Crowded House greatly admire is fellow NZer Ruban Neilson (Unknown Mortal Orchestra). Ruban was willing and able when asked to dismantle our single To The Island . His remix has reimagined our song with swagger and grit and some glam overtones. we think it s transformed in a beautiful way,” said Neil Finn.

The new Divide and Dissolve album may be pitched at fans of James Baldwin, Octavia Butler, and Toni Morrison, but – whisper it – it is also
a really good sludge record, finds Noel Gardner
The particularities of how music, especially music without a large commercial platform, is listened to at present will undoubtedly ensure that some people will check out the new Divide And Dissolve album without knowing anything much about the band. They’ll find a powerful, impressively unconventional, predominantly instrumental suite, linking sludge and doom metal with a desolate reading of jazz. Should a listener find themselves content with that – let the music do the talking – that is of course their right, but it runs counter to how this Melbourne duo operate, and what confers much of their importance.
