Last year, Dâm-Funk remixed Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti’s magisterial “Fight Night” with surprising success. As incredible as Dâm’s original work is, I’ve never been a huge fan of his remixes. Maintaining the innate beauty of Ariel’s original, Dâm infused a solid helping of his trademark scuzzy synthesizer funk, resulting in a final product I’m sure Ariel would be plenty proud of (conjecture of course). It appears that Ariel did take notice and has enlisted Dâm to assist on a new album cut. “Baby” is a cover of Donny and Joe Emerson’s ubiquitous 1979 hit. Staying relatively true to the original, Ariel adds several levels of haze to modernize the truly beautiful baby making anthem and Dâm assists with some strained vocals to up the sex appeal. The cover will be on Ariel Pink’s upcoming Mature Themes, due out August 21 on 4AD. Stream above.
