Confidence Man have enlisted the help of Japanese rockers CHAI for a new remix of their track Angry Girl.
The song originally appeared on the Australian dance group’s hit second album ‘Tilt’, which was released back in the spring, and has been reworked for the ‘RE-TILT’ EP.
In a press statement, Confidence Man described Angry Girl with CHAI as “a collaboration that makes more sense than most things in the natural world”.
“Love doesn’t have to be a two-way street,” they said. “It can be a bunch of hotties colliding at every turn. That’s kinda like what we have here.”
CHAI added: “This song really reminds us of Confidence Man’s raging and burning love performances, and is like a powerful energy drink.”
The collection is set to feature remixes of songs from the LP, with Tame Impala, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Erol Alkan among those who have contributed.
The latter shared his ‘OOO Rework’ of the band’s single Holiday back in December.
‘RE-TILT’ is out September 30.

News of the track 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!”v
‘Tilt’ is available now.
