The original version of Brooklyn synth-pop collective Bowmont’s song “Just Cause You’re Right,” off of their 2014 released EP ‘Hovering,’ had a uniquely warped quality to the pulsating synth sequence. Although very much a pop song through its vocal presentation, a rather unpredictable structure kept the listener engaged. The band now released a stunning remix of this track, moving it closer to the environs inhabited by the likes of Swedish electro masters The Knife. With DJ/Producer Rasmus Vestervig handling the remix under his 99 Blows nom de plume (the guy is also a celebrated guitarist in a number of bands), an intoxicating blend of sparse percussive pulses share open spaces with deep bass synth notes. When Emil Bovbjerg’s vocals ultimately emerge to tell a tale of loss and heartache (“if you ever come back to this street, I’m going to change the locks on the door”) they are propelled forward by bright high-hat cymbal percussion and bubbling synths. In addition to this new release, the band will play a free show at BAMcafé Live on Saturday, April 11th at 9pm. – Dave Cromwell
