Tame Impala’s Lonerism highlight ‘Feels Like We Only Go Backwards‘ is one of those very rare songs that already feels like a timeless classic – so naturally it has attracted quite a lot of remixes and reworkings over the past few months.

In a world that now contains Yeezus, Death Grips’ particular brand of brutally nihilistic punk-rap seems increasingly more relevant and essential.
