Brooklyn-based quintet Extra Life recently debuted a brand new Tyondai Braxton (Battles) remix of their single “Head Shrinker,” with Stereogum, via LOAF. Stereogum premiered the band’s memorable “Head Shrinker” video Stereogum premiered the band’s memorable “Head Shrinker” video a few months back, and calls the Braxton remix an “insectoid scratch-implosion, giving [Extra Life] their first pair of slippery dancing shoes.” Listen to the track here!
Taken from Extra Life’s lauded sophomore album Made Flesh, out now on LOAF, “Head Shrinker” gets a unique re-invention by Braxton as a futuristic robo disco group that creates an intricate web of electronic sound. The remix is off of the band’s forthcoming remix EP, Splayed Flesh, coming out June 22nd on Planaria/Sockets.
Extra Life will be touring Europe throughout May and June in support of Made Flesh and Splayed Flesh.
