Tim Fitz – Gimme Some Love (Super Magic Hats Remix)

Rob Masterton is a fella you might know by virtue of his work under the name Super Magic Hats while Tim Fitz’s work under the name Tim Fitz has been a source of excellent left of centre indie-pop over the past, oh I dunno, four or five years or so. Today, the two names are in the one title. It’s with some amount of discipline that we’ve kept it to just the two names because, despite typically vocalizing his own songs, Fitz enlisted the vocal talents of Valar‘s James Blackwood and Husain. The track is a weirdly timed, strangely produced and startlingly earnest anthem of yearning. Then Super Magic Hats got ahold of the thing and stripped all those weird time parts out and shelled the song down to the pleading core in its vocal. A new beat and ever rising synth parts alienate that sentiment and the resulting thing is a little uncomfortable and plenty interesting. You can get the Kumori EP from Super Magic Hats here or Fitz’s most recent Goodhearts EP here or you can say to hell with them both and save your pennies for the forthcoming Strain Of Origin IV remix record that will contain this remix as well as glorious Lower Spectrum remix of Naps that you can hear below. That’s before I mention the involvement of Setec, Electric Sea Spider, Power Moves and a bucket of other cool young types – out December 1.

If you’re super keen you can even watch Tim Fitz perform on one of Sound Doctrine’s securely copyrighted Show & Tell sessions.
