Ever since I heard this track from Korallreven (featuring sultry vocals by Taken By Trees‘ Victoria Bergsman) tucked into their mixtape a few months back, I’d been waiting for the release. Well it’s here and it’s just as I remembered it. The initial hits remind me so much of CFCF, which makes sense as they’re labelmates on Acéphale (who can do no wrong). With a title like “Honey Mine”, you expect something saccharine and smooth, and Korallreven delivers in the best of ways. There are what are sure to be some amazing remixes (from Lissvik & Memoryhouse, among others) on the way too, so be on the lookout.

CFCF has done an excellent job of remixing one of my favorite tracks from East Of Eden. This remix is the perfect blend of both artists’ styles. East Of Eden dropped last September, and can be found on Amazon for less than $9.

This has definitely been the week of holdups at D.I.D.  I’m still waiting on a couple of tracks for my Real Estate/Twigz feature from the weekend, but it will definitely be worth the wait.  In the meantime, simmer on the new LP from Taken By Trees.  The gorgeous, Dan Lissvik produced album weaves traditional Pakistani instrumentation with Bergsman’s beautiful voice.  They even traveled to Pakistan to ensure the record would be as authentic as possible.  Some of the tracks are a little too traditional, but it’s definitely worth the $9 at iTunes or Amazon.

Lissvik is steadily becoming one of my favorite producers.  His spectacular remix of Fever Ray pulled me through the spring, only to be snagged by this Taken By Trees jam this summer.  I was so into this song that I looked into his previous projects and found a very impressive catalog from his group Studio.  I’m ready for him to take over the future.
