Art of Sleeping - "Crazy" (Original & Remix)

Art of Sleeping is a five-piece band out of Brisbane that has started making some musical waves, and a group I'm going to use to point out what I love about original songs and their later remixes. “Crazy”, the band's latest single, is a blues-infused rock track with high-soaring vocals, high-energy guitar riffs, and just a fantastic bass line. This song is present and in the moment.

Now contrast that with the recently released remix of that track by fellow Australian Tom Scary. This remix is dark, subdued, distant. It is decidedly more electronic than the original.

I actually listened to the remix before I heard the original, and I was surprised how stark the contrast between the two songs was. Both songs are incredible, both for very different reasons, and it really highlights what I love about remixes. Same source material (of sorts), but two drastically different outcomes. It makes me fall in love with music all over again
