Jam City
“Dream ’15”
Earthly Versions (out 10.02 on Night Slugs)
Jack Latham’s excellent Dream A Garden gets a little remix love on the recently-announced EP, Earthly Versions. The Londoner reworks two of the disc’s standouts — “A Walk Down Chapel” and “Crisis” — and graces us with this tasty new single. Like much of his brilliant LP, “Dream ’15” matches dreamy synths and textures with banging percussion and evocative, faraway vocals. As heady as his arrangements are, there’s a powerful urgency to much of Latham’s recent work, and this single captures the feeling of having your head in the clouds but your body in the warp-speed grind of modern life in the city.
