" Nothing resonates quite like a relationship in peril. We&amp;#039;ve all been there. She complains you&amp;#039;re not spending enough time with her, but your schedule hasn&amp;#039;t been normal in months. You left the seat up, and it&amp;#039;s the third time, you jackass. All that seems to be left in it for both of you is inertia. That&amp;#039;s what the Polyphonic Spree&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Carefully Try&amp;quot; is all about, filled with lines like &amp;quot;The two of us prepare to trust/While all we do is sigh.&amp;quot; The original is surprisingly poppy. Replete with horns and drums and rock &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; roll, it&amp;#039;s what you&amp;#039;d expect from the band that recorded one of the most uplifting songs of the last 20 years. But it doesn&amp;#039;t match the tone of the lyrics, so a remix would make sense, wouldn&amp;#039;t it? Enter Psychphonic, a new album of the Polyphonic Spree&amp;#039;s songs taken under an electronic-music scalpel. That&amp;#039;s where this awesome remix by Little People comes from. Here, have a listen:      We hear a little Postal Service, in a good way. Stripped down and paired with keys and a drum machine, the vocals breathe and become harder to ignore. Lines like &amp;quot;I fell away/It seems I&amp;#039;m much too late&amp;quot; come off more honestly when they&amp;#039;re not paired with the guitar hooks they were originally written for. The remix seems like a breath of fresh air for a band that&amp;#039;s supposed to be primarily about just that \u2014 breathing, living, thriving. But those things don&amp;#039;t mean anything without their counterpoint. The Polyphonic Spree&amp;#039;s best-known song, &amp;quot;Light and Day,&amp;quot; is a carpe diem anthem, but its Scrubs appearance juxtaposed it against one of the show&amp;#039;s most melancholy moments. Think of this track that way. Listen to it on a lonely drive and give your relationships a good think. We owe it to the people we love. Pyschphonic comes out August 12.
