MS MR’s ‘Secondhand Rapture’: Stream Their Debut Album & Hear Chvrches’ “Hurricane” Remix
Over the weekend, two of our favorite emerging alt-pop projects joined forces, as synth-pop trio Chvrches turned out a great remix of MS MR‘s already great “Hurricane.” Scotland’s electro experts took the original’s slow-burn gloom and somehow warped it into a chipper, ’80s-style dance-pop gem, and now Lizzy Plapinger‘s foreboding vocals sound more like the calls of a dance commander. It’s surprising and clever beyond mere novelty, making it exactly what a good remix should be.
You can hear the reworked track below, but first — more MS MR news! The duo’s debut album Secondhand Rapture is out next week (May 14), and you can stream the LP in full over at Hype Machine right now.
