Porter Robinson – “Sad Machine (Anamanaguchi Remix)” (Stereogum Premiere)

Porter Robinson – “Sad Machine (Anamanaguchi Remix)” (Stereogum Premiere)

I’ve written words and words in praise of Porter Robinson’s “Sad Machine,” as well as a few about Worlds, the forthcoming album from whence it came. So let’s get straight to it: Robinson’s spectral boy-meets-android love story is one of the year’s best songs, and now Anamanaguchi have remixed it. This new version amps up both the track’s twinkly quotient and its overdriven crunch while also lacing it with more of a dance-floor thump. Listen below.
