In the waning days of last summer, Sky Ferreira’s “Everything Is Embarrassing” became the perfect sugary pop jam to ride out the sun-soaked final days of the season. Now, as if to get us pumped for the coming spring, synthpop artist Twin Shadow has given it a bass-bouncing remix ready for the dance floor.
For the remix Twin Shadow pulls out the track’s wry “Maybe if you let me be your lover/maybe if you tried then I would not bother” line and flips it through a series rubbery bass grooves and then layers it with synth flourishes, taking the Debbie Gibson vibe of the original and cranking up the ’80s volume to Human League levels.
It’s just the latest wave (new or otherwise) that Ferreira has ridden lately. “Everything Is Embarrassing” was named a Best New Track by Pitchfork when it dropped last August, and The New York Times, in its review of the EP Ghost, called it “one of the year’s unlikely pop gems.” New York Magazine went on to name “Embarrassing” the song of the year, an accolade that was quickly followed by its TV premiere on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last week – backed by the Roots crew.
