The Swedish duo Korallreven’s A Dream Within A Dream mixtape is a well blended 25-minute abstraction of pure pop, taking some normally very mainstream tracks and twisting them out into Korallreven’s hazy, glittery worldview. Thank FADER for dropping this third mix in a series (peep one & two): “Their mammoth Britney Spears remix rolls in on a Kirsten Dunst Melancholia quote (“All I know is life on earth is evil”), and the mix closes with a Leo DiCaprio line from Inception (“You need to completely let me in”). The highest moment, riding in on the coattails of a Velvet Underground edit, is Korallreven’s dripping This Is Head remix, with super wet shakers and smooth vocals on heavy delay and a long, marching buildup.” Look out for Korallreven’s album As Young As Yesterday being released on Acéphale on November 15th.
