Download The Invisible – Wings (Floating Points Remix) Here
Originally conceived by Dave Okumu, singer/guitarist with The Invisible, as a break-up song, Wings was transformed into something else by the death of his mother. The result is classic Invisible – a driving beat, warm bass and a vocal and melody of such subtlety that the result is at once achingly sad and strangely uplifting.
Remix duties are dealt with by Floating Points. Never one to shy away from the epic, Sam Shepherd stetches out the original, adds gently swinging electronic drums and subtle ambient touches, all of which draw the focus back to the quality of the songwriting.
