MNDR has released a surprise new breakdown of pop track “Cut Me Out.” Producer Peter Wade created this exclusive driving Dub version, specifically for Green Label Sound fans. It’s MNDR remixing MNDR and it’s free for download here!
Drums were sequenced on a Linn Drum and tracked right to analog 1/2″ tape with spring and delay printed live. Wade and Warner then laid live bass guitar, synths and hand claps recorded with natural reverb from the front hall of Wade’s former studio “LaBronze Johnson”. Two original heavily processed Jupiter-6 sounds were created to make up the synth bassline and pads. Then the FX were overdubbed while Warner kicked and prodded the spring reverb tank and Wade dialed up delay throws.
On Friday April 15, MNDR played to a packed house at the Brooklyn Museum, the first show for the season’s Audiophile Series. Poised in the spacious, modern glass entrance atop a freshly built stage with her trademark light projections, MNDR’s set included a stripped down “I Go Away,” new single “Cut Me Out,” and a first-time performance of “Broken Hearts.” The audience enjoyed a complimentary vodka hour and an opening set by New Villager, engulfed in the captivating setting of art in its many forms.
