The silence is golden

Just excellent remixes for Cut Copy, Little Boots, Peter, Bjorn And John or Empire Of The Sun. And more than that: The Golden Filter have released their second official single “Thunderbid”. You can download it for free via their label Dummy. The 7″ vinyl features their cover “The hardest button to button” by The White Stripes on the B-side. The Golden Filter is a bit mysterious, just a few photos without any face and hardly any information about them. It´s seems they are a duo based in New York. Penelope and Stephen. And three short answers via mail in June this year …
Your important experience with the remix culture?
Penelope: “The good experience was stumbling across The Scientist. The bad: ‘Mix Up’ by The Cure. A lesson on how not to remix. A remix should reinvent. One particular song which inspired us were ‘Doctorin’ The Tardis’ by The Timelords aka The KLF.”
Will you release an album soon?
“We are working on our full-length and we will do a few singles before. We hope getting people to remix us instead of vice-versa. Plus making small films and taking pictures.”
And the future?
“The silence is golden.”
