After being members of the explosion of Brooklyn bands in the early ‘00s (with bands like TV on the Radio and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), art rockers SSION left for Kansas City a few years ago and never looked back, leaving their titles of “Next Big Things” kind of in the air. Fast-forward to 2007, the band have been at the forefront of a new scene in their adoptive hometown, are about to release their second album Fool’s Gold (their debut, Opportunity Bless My Soul, dropped in 2003) and have had their new single, “Clown” remixed by Italians Do It Better artists Glass Candy. The song’s original vibe, like most of SSION’s material, has a scuzzy, home-made, DIY quality to it, whereas the Glass Candy remix polishes up the ends and gives it that Italians shine. It’s minimal Italo, sounding like Hot Chip’s evil doppelgangers ripping a page from Giorgio Moroder’s handbook. Download it by clicking the link below.
