Of the remixes and remixers, Dry Cleaning said: “We asked Marcus (aka Nourished by Time) to remix his choice of song from Stumpwork as we are big fans of his amazing voice, tender lyrics and emotional, brilliant songwriting. We love Charlotte and Bolis’s music: their approach to live performance; the humor they work into their songs; their unique take on energizing and layered dance music. It is really gratifying to hear our songs in a new way and exciting to connect and collaborate with artists we admire.”
Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul said: “We’ve both been fans of Dry Cleaning for a while so we’re very excited to be asked to remix a song off Stumpwork. It was really fun to work on something that is quite different sound wise from what we usually do. We love Dry Cleaning’s sound, playfulness and humor and remixing their music was a very inspiring way to get back in the studio after a year-long hiatus.”
