8-Bit Mirah? I never saw it coming. Well, I never saw a 2xLP remix album coming either. Yet, here it is: the K Punk songstress/Microphones’ torchbearer has given up her catalogue to a strange cadre of mostly NW artists ranging from Phil Elverum (Mt. Eerie…duh) to to this track by Hooliganship, thoughfully entered into the aurally pixelated electronic matrix of, say, Duck Hunt if the ducks were dancing instead of getting shot by your plastic infrared gun (murderer). Anyhow, maybe you know this anti-tech style from E*Rock: rough edges, Casio beats, and some “homemade” synths. It’s a amazingly accurate translation of the original: it’s nearly beat for beat, note for note. They wisely cut out half of the song , where it turns to a slow, guitar+throat interlude. They could have made a holy mess of things fucking with that.

Mirah isn’t Local, but Hooliganship is. The release party’s in Portland on the 26th at a TBA Portland venue.
