Feisty Stevens: The Zombies Are Inside Out!! (mash-up by Kevan Gilbert)


Hi friends,

I’ve been hard at work at my secret laboratory, trying to mix beats and rhythms together to create something magical, and I think I’ve finally come up with something worth sharing.

Everybody knows Feist by now: Recently featured in an iPod commercial with her video for “1, 2, 3, 4,” she had previously captured people’s attention with her debut album, “Let It Die.” On that album, she did a cover of a Bee Gee’s song called “Inside Out.” It was a sparse and danceable interpretation — like a quiet disco in an empty chapel, maybe. Okay, now that you’ve conjured up the track, hold that sweet thought.

You might also remember weeping (in the van, with your friends) over Sufjan Stevens’ “Illinois” album. One track from that collection was called “They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbours!! They Have Come Back From the Dead! Ahhhh!,” which was also a very groovy song.

Anyway, long story short, I INTRODUCED THEM TO EACH OTHER. Turns out, they loved each other from the start. They only required very minimal adjustments to tempo and pitch before they started rocking, and with a few very careful weeks of tweaking and arranging, they finally produced a likeable, danceable offspring. The result is my most precious mash-up ever.

I present to you: Feisty Stevens – The Zombies Are Inside Out!!

Please share this with your friends, and if you happen to be the friend of a friend of a girl who sings in the choir for Sufjan or plays in the band for Feist, feel free to pass this along, especially since Sufjan says his music isn’t suited to remixes.
