If anyone doesn’t know, I am obsessed with this song. The original by Van She is probably one my favorite songs, ever. It’s just a perfect song. Van She re-recorded the song for the debut album “V” which dropped earlier this year, but the original version is supremely better, but probably because it’s what I’m used to. There has been some notable remixes of the song by Cut Copy and Alan Braxe & Fred Falke, but this new Lifelike rework is freaking good. I saw earlier this summer on his Myspace he was working on a remix for the Aussie group and I could not wait. The track debuted on his myspace this week. Watch for it on a re-issue of the track on Modular soon.

If you’re a regular reader, obviously you know that I keep pushing Tame Impala. They’re this new psychedelic act out of Australia, best buds with Modular, and are touring with the likes of MGMT and such in the land down under. They released “Skeleton Tiger” a couple weeks back as a free download on their official site, but you can now go there and grab the other 4 tracks to complete the EP for $3.99 (AUD).

Quoted from their email: “Our EP consists of a selection of 5 songs out of about 25 home recorded songs we have. A couple were recorded as long ago as 2005; others were still being written when the EP was supposed to be getting mastered (oh yeah sorry about that Modular…). x Kevin, Dom & Jay ”

Awesome.

Australia’s psychedelic revolution is underway. In Perth, three guys have come together to form what music needs, rock ‘n roll. Tame Impala’s mission is to play in large, grassy areas and record music in their homes for you to download. Their myspace caption reads, “music to download on sunny days.” Remember Me is just that. Go to their SITE right now and download this song. You. Will. Not. Regret. It. This song has been my favorite morning music for the past couple weeks. I need to send credit over to Ian LeSueur for sending this song my way. See what Mad Decent had to say. Ian is headed to Melbourne this fall to become famous. You should probably add him on Myspace now.

The group is signed to Australian’s Modular records. Founded by Steve Pavlovic, the label has grown quickly since 2004’s release of the Avalanche’s and Cut Copy’s debut albums. Regardless, this group is worth checking out. Follow this sound and really watch for it to spread everywhere. Do you have any tie-dye?
