Canadian indie rock duo Figure Walking<\/a> <\/strong>presents their new single ‘Blue World Remix’<\/strong><\/a>, newly released via Disintegration Records<\/a> <\/strong>on June 7. This exquisite remix single is a summertime anthem. Here, producer\/engineer Richard Hartline <\/strong>and Philadelphia’s critically acclaimed mood-rockers Tulipomania<\/a> <\/strong>team up at the controls, bringing an already celebratory song to new levels of existential joy and transcendence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure Walking is drummer Rob Gardiner <\/strong>(Conduct, Pip Skid) on drums and longtime Winnipeg-based indie rock fixture and three-time Polaris Prize nominee Greg MacPherson<\/a> <\/strong>(Cherry Cherry, Nova, Greg MacPherson Band) on baritone guitar, vocals and keys. The original version of ‘Blue World’ can be found on the band’s debut album ‘The Big Other’<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I love to imagine the world through the murky, silver-on-the-ocean-floor filter that is Tulipomania’s music. This remix of Blue World is astonishing for us, like a watching an eclipse with welder’s goggles and discovering the sun for the first time,” says Greg MacPherson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Hartline\/Tulipomania remix of Blue World is a gift to us, like seeing our city anew from the slow rise and ominous drift of a beautiful weather balloon at sunset.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure Walking makes music that runs a full spectrum of celebration, revolt, laughter, anger, and possibility. This is an innovative sound, worldly but deeply rooted in the colonial crash site that is the city of Winnipeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their debut album ‘The Big Other’ is a 10-song trip across cultures, communities, ideologies, and relationships. Recorded by Cam Loeppky<\/strong>, it was released in April 2017 and was long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We were really inspired by the song ‘Blue World’, Figure Walking’s bittersweet anthem informed by intelligent angst, and we’re honored to have been allowed to contribute to this upliftingcri de coeur<\/em>,” says Cheryl Gelover <\/strong>of Tulipomania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tulipomania have released four albums<\/a> and numerous animated music videos<\/a> and singles.
They are currently at work on a fifth album and supporting animated music videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure Walking will be releasing their new album ‘vertical\/horizontal’ later this summer. For now, the Blue World Remix is available across online stores, including Apple Music<\/strong><\/a>, and streaming platforms such as Spotify<\/a> <\/strong>and Soundcloud<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
