Bear In Heaven join the ranks among the gold-starred artists that have remixed Crystal Castles in recent months with their re-imagination of fan favorite “Celestica”. A few weeks ago, we called Crystal Castles’ Celestica “an ecstatic bliss… powered mainly by stunning vocal work and contagious drumming”. With their remix, Bear In Heaven weigh “Celestica” down with a Space-Age bassline and overall harsher sound, simultaneously tribal and robotic. Alice Glass’ superb vocals are kept intact, a courtesy my ears are grateful for. Stream and download Bear In Heaven’s remix of “Celestica” here:
