Mexican duo Lorelle Meets The Obsolete are putting out a limited-edition vinyl version of their Remezcla EP, expanded with two extra tracks. Pressed on neon green vinyl and limited to 250 copies, the EP features reworkings of six tracks from 2023's hugely acclaimed album Datura by SUUNS, Dälek, MEMORIALS, Invisible Dog (aka LA-based musician Adam Payne), and Immersion (aka Colin Newman of Wire and Malka Spigel of Minimal Compact). Ranging from indie-dance and avant-garde hip-hop to drone and celestial indie-pop, it's the perfect companion piece to the album. "The whole EP is kind of a 'pinch me' moment," says LMTO guitarist Alberto González. "The fascinating thing with remixes is that you never really know what to expect when you invite someone to collaborate. You sign up for the unknown. We are truly grateful for how everyone shapeshifted these songs. Now it's coming out on vinyl, it's like the EP is finally getting justice in every sense. I guess there's something about physical media that you can't beat. Daniel Castrejon's artwork is much more powerful once printed. All this work is all meant to be released physically. It's truly special and it also feels like a nice transition to what's coming next. All the period around Datura has been highly educational and transformative for us, so this is a nice way to wrap it up and embrace the next phase.
