Review from Melt Magazine - Columbus, OH
New Orleans-born, Chicago-residing duo Telefon Tel Aviv have recently released the aptly titled Remixes Compiled, a compilation of umm... remixes. The reigning champs of glitchy soundscapes, bring a common aesthetic of quick-pan beats, twinkling acoustic guitars, and warm synths to twelve tracks from a diverse cross-section of electronic acts they have worked with over the past seven years. Some of the more notable rearrangements like Nine Inch Nails' "Even Deeper" or Apparat's "Komponent" showcase the duo's unmatched sophistication in textural soundbite sampling. The glacial remixes of Bebel Gilberto's "All Around" and American Analog Set's "The Green Green Grass" will have you floating off to TTA's, great chillout pad in the sky. At least thats where they take me, which is consequentially exactly where I want to go when I pop in Telefon Tel Aviv. Thankfully, every track sounds moodier, more layered, and all around more enjoyable after being run through the TTA filter. Remixes Compiled is a sublime collection of tastefully reinterpreted tracks from a group yet to follow up their sobering sophomore album. If you jam on their original stuff, you will not be disappointed with these remixes. - Tyler Starkey
