Ringo Deathstarr took Lauren Lakis’ “Terror Tears” and transformed the spacious, dream pop gorgeousness into a distorted and urgent borderline industrial song. Where previously the music felt introspective and tranquil, this version sounds like it was inspired by the title to engage in some deconstuction and in the last third of the song it is almost pure rhythm and rapidly echoing guitar stripped of all but the barest of melodies and the vocals like a ghost haunting an old television that bursts forth into vivid focus in the last moments of the song. It is nearly unrecognizable from the original and a remix that truly explores the possibilities of the songwriting.
