intro
Hit and miss download-only single from Slowdive and Mojave 3 Neil Halstead's new band Black Hearted Brother, which includes three mixes of the title track and a new song
Black Hearted Brother is the new band of Slowdive and Mojave 3 front man, Neil Halstead. This four-track download-only EP collects together three mixes of the most commercial pop number from last year's debut album 'Stars Are Our Home', and also adds a new number. 'Got Your Love' first appears as a short edit. Edited down from it's eight minute plus album version, and, sung by Halstead, it finds him returning to his noisy earlier roots, and is like an electro pop Mojave 3, ideal for the dance floor. The new track is 'Don't Take the Weight', which is sung by Nick Holton, who was originally in Coley Park, and is backed by ukelele and soft electro beats. It is a sad core, ideal for Joy Division fans everywhere. The final two tracks are Richardo Tobar and Ultramarine's remixes of 'Got Your Love'. Tobar's remix turns the track upside down and inside out, while the vocals get lost in the mix. Ultramarine's is also odd, again messing with Halstead's vocal, but is more audible, and for me a more enjoyable and appealing mix.
