i knew of "destroy everything you touch" far before hearing hot chip's remix and i think it was through a perfume ad. when i heard of hot chip's remix it was after being wowed with "over and over" and "boy from school" etc but mostly with their remix of amy winehouse's "rehab". with that remix hot chip became discobelle and the blog mafia's ultimate darling along with the dfa.
somehow i had been led to believe that hot chip's remix came along with the re-release of the song in 2007 but i became a fan of it after hearing that beginning. reason because i mention the dfa was that it reminded me of their remixes as they often used live instrumentation throughout the remix. so for this one you heard the start with a musicbox like sound in the beginning along with some guitar strums.
after a while mira aroyo's secondary vocal come in processed with reverb to the effect that it was whispered to ones ear. as soon as the vocal makes it's first entrance so does the kick and bassline and eventually some of the percussion and synths sweeps. the electric guitars that come in have also been treated with room reverb it gives off a nice vibe in the spectrum. i think the influences for this remix comes from the dfa and kevin shields as the remix is sort of dance-rock meets shoegaze.
groovy stuff with a touch of ambience.
