The Mistys - Detached Arrangement

Detached Arrangement:

Is there ever a final version of anything? By recombining the aliquot of an album does something new appear? Rather than simply asking questions The Mistys went in search of answers.

Using only the master tapes of the ‘Detached Engagement’ album as source material The Mistys sliced, chopped, screwed, looped, effected and a whole host of other audio alchemy to create the ‘Detached Arrangement’ mixtape.

The original album’s beats have been dropped allowing the hidden elements to rise to the top of this amorphous mix, with Beth’s somnambulant vocal acting as a guide through this crepuscular journey.

This is The Mistys at their most abstract and fragile, taking a little time out to reflect and rest their pop hearts.
