Song Remixes: Future Islands - Flicker and Flutter
Javelin, a mostly electronic group took the Future Islands track and changed it in many ways. It is a selective and reflexive remix in terms of how Javelin changed the aura of the original by replacing some sounds with different or better quality ones, rearranging the order of when certain sounds come in, and even adding new instrumentals that go in line with the ones of Future Islands that they had changed. The original Flicker and Flutter has a more chaotic, electronic, and less old pop sort of feel to it. Javelin's remix replaces the original pace of the track, as well as replacing the original sounds with more produced sounding noises that are relatable to the originals, but are different in the way they actually sound, not necessarily in the way they are used. Javelins remix makes the same noises sound as if they were made with real instruments, whether or not they actually were. It has an entirely different feel to it than the first, and even the original vocals by Future Islands are used, although in a slightly different manner.
