Yeasayer Remix Review Roundup

February 23rd, 2010

It’s been a few weeks since I put out my Yeasayer remix, and the response has been tremendous – by far the biggest I’ve ever received! From a mention in the UK’s Independent, to my very first Stereogum shout-out, to airplay on both KCRW and Sirius/XM Radio, to #1 on Hypemachine and “Hottest Track” on Elbo.ws, and lastly to [my favorite] soundtracking this girl’s how-to-make-balloon-animals video:

And to those of you that took the time to listen and/or post about it and/or help spread the word, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Here’s the blog recap:

True To Sound: “The brilliant Alan Wilkis… seems to be getting even more awesomer with every remix that he produces. His latest is of Yeasayer’s ‘Ambling Amp,’ and as good as the original is, I can honestly say I enjoy Alan’s remix more.”
