Single Premiere: Body Lens - "Meter (Local Singles remix ft. Lisa Skank)"
Cups N Cakes post-punk/art-rock favourites, Body Lens, deliver a remix from their incredible 2020 EP, BL Mini. The remix is for the song “Meter” and was done by Calgary electro dream-pop act Local Singles. It features a vocal appearance from Lisa Skank, Calgary’s manic pixie drag clown who is also the creator of Wearable Eyesores.
When asked about the remix, Body Lens said:
“So the song Meter is originally off of our last EP, BL MINI. It is the danciest tune on the EP. We were chatting with some of our Calgary pals pre-COVID about the idea of doing a club mix of a BL tune. When COVID came along and we were isolated, we sent the stems to Keith Colli and Matthew Wilkinson of Local Singles. We didn't fully know what to expect for this tune, but we knew it would be a club dance slammer with great polyrhythms. We were pleasantly surprised to find a vocal feature from good pal and Calgary drag artist Lisa Skank! Keith of Local Singles refers to it as ‘some highly exclusive special edition shit’ and ‘if you listen to it you'll never be lonely again’ lol.”
Today we are very happy to be premiering this wonderful remix. Just a reminder, today is Bandcamp Day, the first Friday of every month where Bandcamp waives their service fees and allows artists to collect 100% of their revenues.
For this particular release, the gang in Body Lens have decided to donate all of the proceeds to the SAGE Clan of Lethbridge.
SAGE Clan is a grassroots organization that specializes in engaging those who need it the most in our community. Founded by community member Mark Brave Rock, SAGE Clan is based upon the successful community patrol based in Winnipeg BEAR Clan. We participate in various community events and have helped addicts get help and find treatment and family members find their loved ones on the street. We are not a policing force, nor are we addiction experts, we seek to provide a sense of community and support to those who feel neither.
Enjoy!
