On February 7th, the Duke Spirit released the deluxe edition of their latest album Bruiser, which features newly remixed bonus tracks.

Singer Liela Moss says that the sultry and sinister remix that synthpop pioneer Gary Numan made for "Procession" was the result of a chance meeting and a good cup of tea. "I made such an absolutely fantastic cuppa that Gary asked if he could join my band. I had to let him down gently, and so he suggested he could do a remix to appease him for the time being, and the rest is history," she says.

The more electronic remix still keeps up the track's rock vibe, and Liela shares "we love his reworking of the track, and are in awe of his wizardry. He has turned 'Procession' into a devious, sinister ghost-train of a ride."

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
