New Music of the Day, September 2:


Seeb & Greg Holden, "Boys in the Street"
Dance producers Seeb have a talent for remixing slightly dreary songs. First was Mike Posner's "I Took a Pill in Ibiza," which only became a worldwide hit in its Seeb remix form. Posner's original was cringeworthily self-pitying, but Seeb managed to wring out all the poignancy from its vocals and lyrics. And they manage to land this Greg Holden song, which feels a bit like "The Living Years" for gay men, on just the right side of mawkish.
