Hear Kindness’ insane rework of Röyksopp and Robyn’s ‘Monument’

When Scandinavian giants Röyksopp and Robyn decided to collaborate on a mini-album for the first time, ‘Monument’ was the kick-starter. A lumbering, 10-minute emotion-tugger, the track contains perhaps the longest, most unassuming sax solo on record, and it also happens to be a beautiful opener on ‘Do It Again’.

The sax isn’t totally ignored in a new Kindness remix of the song, but everything else is shoved to one side. Adam Bainbridge - who’s been working with Robyn during sessions for his new LP ‘Otherness’ - adds in a lifetime’s supply of slap bass and a few trusty contacts to his reinterpretation of ‘Monument’. Most notable is Busiswa, a South African performance poet who interjects with sudden, jolting lines in a “remix” that spans just over the six minute mark.

‘A Monument To Everything’ is the new title, and it’s streamable below via the Fader.
