This remix is fresh – as in, it  landed in my inbox apparently only minutes after it finished the mastering process. Though I can’t reveal who Cutlass Supreme are (they’re keeping that under wraps until they release their EP), I can tell you they’re signed to Ministry and are super-duo of sorts, half of whom have received a fair bit of love ’round these parts before. Expect that EP in about month and then an LP early next year.

Above is their bootleg remix of Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ ‘Head Will Roll,’ which retains the original’s chorus and recognisable organ figure, but makes it even more likely one would dance (and die?). It’s fairly transformative, treating the original like more of a canvas than the paint, adding in synth bass, filtered breakdowns and some original vocals.

Also, they don’t have a Myspace yet.
