Premiere: Todd Rundgren Remixes Andy Bull

News posted Tuesday, September 24 2013 at 01:00 PM.

When he wasn’t busy touring Australia, remixing Tame Impala or jawing with Davey Lane, cult iconoclast Todd Rundgren found time to rework ‘Baby I Am Nobody Now’, the current single from Sydney’s keyboard-centred artist-producer Andy Bull.

In Rundgren’s hands, the clubby, claggy synth-pop of the original becomes unmoored, a ballad made squiggly and cosmic. The falsetto-licked chorus is preserved, but from there Rundgren stretches leisurely out with a synth-y, looping bridge that builds the anticipation for another chorus.

‘Baby I Am Nobody Now’ is Bull’s second self-produced single, following March’s ‘Keep On Running’ and 2010’s instant-breakout debut EP The Phantom Pains, featuring the Lisa Mitchell duet ‘Dog’. The Sydneysider will release an album next year, having recently signed to Republic Records in the US.
