JARV IS… today releases Swanky Modes remixed by reggae pioneer and innovator Dennis Bovell. The original song, taken from the band’s acclaimed album Beyond The Pale, found Jarvis Cocker confirming his position as one of the greatest lyrical auteurs of all time. The track weaved together a vivid series of snapshots of an unfurling affair with customary candid detail and electrifying erotic charge.
Bovell’s remix taps into that atmosphere, while forging his own, new take on Swanky Modes. Expansive, tender, yet laced with a thrilling edge, his musical reimagining of Swanky Modes nods both at the original track’s illicitness and Bovell’s own musical roots, as it takes the song into a new, truly original space with its haunting mix of darkness and light. Along with the remix of the original track, a dub cut and an instrumental of Swanky Modes is also available, which beautifully exposes the textures Bovell has interwoven into Jarvis Cocker and co’s original creation.
The 3 track digital single will go live on DSPs today at midday BST. A 2 track 7-inch will be released in June & will feature tracks 1 & 2 from the digital single. Tracklisting is below.
The group’s much anticipated UK tour dates have now been rescheduled for November this year – with two new dates added in Newcastle and Sheffield, Original tickets remain valid, tickets for the new shows are available now.
