Detroit collective the Armed have released a remix of “Ketamine” by Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum—the band fronted by Dexter and Six Feet Under actor Michael C. Hall. The group also includes former Wallflowers drummer Peter Yanowitz and keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen, who has played with Blondie. Listen to the Armed’s rendition of “Ketamine” below.
“‘Ultrapop’ is more than a critically-acclaimed, game-changing, genre-defining album,” the Armed’s Dan Greene said in a statement, referring to the group’s 2021 record. “It is a language. It is a tool set. It is its own vernacular. This adaptation of ‘Ketamine’ is an exercise in translation. And in the spirit of the dialect, the result is all things, at once. It is delicate and earnest. It is exhilarating. Terrifying. It is excessive and ruthless.”
“Ketamine” originally appeared on Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum’s debut self-titled EP, which got released in April 2020. The trio followed the EP with the full-length Thanks for Coming in February 2021. The band’s new Ketamine Remixes EP is coming out May 13 via Morpho Music.
