Lions At Your Door: ‘LAYD (Mailer Daemon Mix)’

Lions At Your Door – ‘LAYD (Mailer Daemon Mix)’ (mp3)

Visceral and thumping, ‘LAYD’ was a vociferous opening statement that was more startling than an unexpected punch to the back of the head. Lions At Your Door, you funky, foot-loose bastards. ‘LAYD’ went straight onto infinite repeat on my iPod and in my head. I love the 3 minute mark in the song when catastrophy ensues.

Remixes of indie bands are ubiquitous these days so they can be fairly banal but Mailer Daemon has done a great job in turning these dance-punk rockers into salacious dancefloor drawcards, giving a Gossip-esque feel to ‘LAYD’. Heavy on the hi-hats, processors and moments of electro-freakout, there was so much indie gold on offer with the original that it would be really hard to fuck it up. But here’s another song that’s going straight onto my iPod.
