Jens Lekman remixed by Dave Fischoff’s Spoolwork project

Dave Fischoff is beginning a remix project called Spoolwork. His first remix is one of Jens Lekman’s I’m Leaving You Because I Don’t Love You, making it available as a free download on the Spoolwork’s Myspace page.

Both Dave Fischoff and Jens Lekman are signed to Secretly Canadian; the two toured together in the autumn months of `07. Taking an interesting approach at remixing this song, Fischoff hadn’t heard Lekman’s original version before Jens sent him the vocal track.

Dave explained to Puddlegum:

“with Spoolwork I’m trying my hand at working more collaboratively. For this first remix, Jens sent me only a vocal track and I built up the song structure and arrangement around his voice, before I’d ever heard his version of the song. We’re both really happy with the way it turned out.”

Artists that are interested in having their music remixed can contact Dave Fischoff via Myspace. “If you’re a band or a solo artist looking for someone to do some remix work, or put together an arrangement or a beat for one of your songs, feel free to drop me a line through the Spoolwork Myspace page. This first one was a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to doing more work like it!”

Dave Fischoff has released three albums on Secretly Canadian since he signed with them in `98, with his latest being The Crawl. Working with a large resource of sound samples (accessing the Chicago Public Library’s collection of sounds) he put distractions aside as he mixed in his basement apartment close to downtown Chicago. Spoolwork will act as a nice reprieve before he releases his next album.
