Ryan Hemsworth’s Remix of Mitski Is Wistful, Anthemic Joy

“Francis Forever” gets a wistful, anthemic remix.

March 05, 2015

Last fall, FADER staffer Patrick McDermott characterized Brooklyn artist Mitski's Bury Me At Makeout Creek LP with its "standing-on-a-cliff vulnerability," and considering Ryan Hemsworth's (extremely cute picture above taken from his "Around The World With Ryan Hemsworth: Japan" feature) recent gravitation toward emo styles, it's not surprising he picked out "Francis Forever" from that record to remix. Hinged around the anguished line "I miss you more than anything," the remix replaces the original's brooding indie rock with bubbling, nostalgic cuteness, capturing a kind of wistful joy and making it anthemic. Stream the track below below, and if you're in Austin later this month be sure to head to Hemsworth's Secret Songs SXSW showcase.
