Confidence Man have released their ‘RE-TILT’ remix collection.
The group’s new EP includes seven remixes of tracks from their recent album ‘TILT’, reworked by a host of big-name musicians.
Tame Impala, CHAI, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and Daniel Avery are among those that have worked on the project, with the group teasing physical editions are coming soon.
The release of ‘RE-TILT’ comes ahead of the group’s return to the UK and Ireland for an expanded run of live dates in November 2022.
Having previously announced shows in London and Manchester, they have since expanded the run and will now play gigs in Glasgow, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham, Nottingham and Dublin.
Speaking in Retro Pop’s July 2022 issue, frontman Sugar Bones opened up about the creation of the group’s latest record, which was conceived during strict lockdowns in Melbourne.
“We were living together because we knew that, if this lockdown thing was going to really take off, we wanted to be together so we could get something done, because all the touring was off the cards,” he recalled.
“So we moved in together, we had this home studio and yeah, I think it pretty much saved our lives having this big project to work on.”
Although partying was off the cards, the group managed to maintain the vibe by turning their garden shed into a club and enjoying their own raves every night.
“We listened to a whole bunch of stuff. Lots of dance stuff at the time,” Sugar explained. “We got turning the back shed into a little rave cave – the fuck bunker – maybe like six months in.
“We partied in the kitchen more times than anyone should ever party in the kitchen – I think everyone is familiar with that – so we were like, ‘Let’s do something. Let’s turn the shed into a club.’
“So we bought a smoke machine, some lasers, dragged out the decks and these crappy little home speakers. It was the same people [every night], but we just got super lit, cranked the smoke machine, danced in the shed all night and called it a club. It was actually awesome!”
‘Tilt’ is available now.
