The original version of “Situation” was The Dark Esquire’s LCD Soundsystem-esque harrowed manifesto, but FADER fave CFCF cut through the disco funk and just left the goth bits, exponentially upping the angst. It’s interesting to hear CFCF do something like this, considering his other remixes lean more toward the Dark Esquire realm—synthy and fully danceable, whereas this mix sounds more like the tumbleweeds rolling through the empty space of somebody’s cobwebby heart. CFCF, you okay dog? Maybe this will cheer you up: THE SITUATIONIST. Society of the spectacle!
