Big K.R.I.T. Remixes Alt-J's 'Every Other Freckle'

09/17/2014
. (Radio.com) Who would have thought the rap remix of alt-J songs would be a thing? But alas, it has become one. After gracing the world with a take on their first single from upcoming sophomore album This Is All Yours, "Hunger of the Pine," by L.A. rap-punks clipping, alt-J has dropped another hip-hop remix, this time of third single "Every Other Freckle" and with Southern rhymer Big K.R.I.T. taking the reins.

The remix starts off predictably enough, with Alt-J working in their expected sensual groove. But quickly, the snare snaps tip off a change in direction: a verse from K.R.I.T.

The appearance is short lived but pushes the whole of the song into more affecting territory, allowing Alt-J to work as a foil for a completely different musical genre - and vice versa.

Alt-J's new effort is a little over a week away, due on Sept. 23 via Canvasback/Infectious. Big K.R.I.T., meanwhile, is working on the follow-up to his studio debut, Live from the Underground, which came out in 2012.
