From the tangentially-related Korean drama in its official clip to putting unabashed lyrical nonsense in the foreground, Phoenix keep rolling out this Bankrupt! single in unexpected ways. The latest round arrived today, and it’s the most musically interesting so far: Dinosaur Jr. reworked the cut from the ground up, stripping away synths and slick production into raw, indie-rock form. J Mascis’ trademark mumble sounds at home with the words, as does his ever-reliable guitar solo over their chords. Count me back in — as in, boiling over again with anticipation — for Phoenix LP5. The original is below and Dino Jr.’s take is above.
