Strange bake
Hear Animal Collective’s remix of Shabazz Palaces’ ‘#CAKE’
Listen to the Premature Deflirt Mix.

How to make Shabazz Palaces’ batshit ‘#CAKE’ single that little bit weirder? Allow Animal Collective to let loose on it.
The original track from ‘Lese Majesty’ has become a fiercer beast, in what’s being dubbed the ‘Premature Deflirt Mix’, which sounds like two terrible phrases on Tinder bunched together - as it plays out, this is a beyond weird offering of psych, at its purest form.
Elements of dance, garage and scattered electronics blend into the same fucked up bake, and out comes a chewy, disturbing end product. Tasty, poisonous cake.
Animal Collective also add their own vocals to the mix. Listen below.
