Dan Bodan
“Hunger Games” (Stadium Remix)
Hunger Games Single (out now on DFA)
After releasing two of my favorite singles of last year — the breathless “Aaron” and “DP” — the Berlin-based weirdo crooner may have just outdone himself with the elegiac “Hunger Games.” Vocally, Bodan’s graceful tenor matches the purity of Brian Ferry with the wink of Jarvis Cocker, and while we are still waiting for a full-length, it’s certainly one of the most distinct voices around today. That voice is framed beautifully by an engulfing, spacey arraignment courtesy of producers Renaissance Man and Physical Therapy. Of the attached remixes (which are all worth a listen), the drippy Stadium one is my favorite, giving the original a reflective feel. Magic.
