Stream: Nihiti “Ghosts and Versions” (exclusive)

14 Feb 2013 — Henning Lahmann

Last year's for ostland by elusive NYC-based experimental project Nihiti was one of the truly surprising efforts in the ever-expanding field of dark-ish electronics that employ bare, reduced beat structures as the foundation for a raw blend of industrial, noise, and drone, with a result that you may or may not want to dance to, probably depending on your level of substance intake. Now, album standout "Ghosts and Lovers" – a bleak, menacing and nearly beatless take on Marissa Nadler's song of the same name – has received the remix treatment by a bunch of essentially like-minded producers, including Zebrablood (aka Nathan of Excepter), National Park System, Mark Verbos, and La Big Vic member Alienboy, with invariably compelling results.

Two versions have already been premiered recently on FACT and International Tapes, today we present an exclusive stream of all six reworks. Check them out below.

The Ghosts and Versions EP is out today on Lo Bit Landscapes.
