I Will Whisper Things You Need To Know

Sunny Day Sets Fire “Wilderness (CSS Remix)” – The original version by Sunny Day Sets Fire is fine enough, but the CSS mix plays up the immediately ingratiating melodic turns of the vocal while streamlining the arrangement into something that is urgent and elegant in equal measures. There’s no shortage of musicians aping ’80s synth pop these days, but too often the results are little more than uninspired tributes to poorly-written shlock. This song, however, is rather successful in approximating for the oft-unheralded craft and slick sophistication of the most enduring British one-hit-wonders of the era.
