Earlier this year, Owen Pallett released the highly ambitious concept album Heartland, and not long afterwards, a Dan Deacon remix of the song “Lewis Takes Off His Shirt” surfaced on the internet. Now, his remix finally has a home on this EP, cozily surrounded by the original song and other remixes of the same track. For a limited time, you can download it for free from the Domino Records website. The EP also boasts remixes of “Midnight Directives” and “Keep the Dog Quiet” by Max Tundra and Simon Bookish, respectively. The EP is free–for a limited time (the site is giving you until one week from today).

If you prefer a more physical medium, you can also get the 12″ version from Domino Mart.

Fall frontman Mark E. Smith might be in the same category as those aging, iconic iconoclasts who still insist on rocking out, but The Fall are still making albums well into the 21st century. Anyone who heard their music in the late ’70s probably never would’ve imagined it, but at least The Fall have been consistent in shaking things up as their discography continues to grow exponentially. Smith has also hired and fired so many members since the band’s inception that it’s hard to keep track, but currently, The Fall’s members are significantly younger than Smith. Perhaps their youth has something to do with the band’s continuation.

The post-punk band will release their 27th (I did say “exponentially”) studio album on the well-respected Domino Records, sharing the roster with artists such as Animal Collective and fellow Brits Four Tet and Robert Wyatt. The album, cynically titled Your Future Our Clutter, will be released on April 26 in most parts of the world, and North America will have to wait until May 4.
