Erasure’s new single, “Reason,” is being released on 24 November 2014 on Mute Records, but you don’t have to hang around until Thanksgiving to hear it in its new mutations. If you pre-order the single, which takes the form of an EP with a brace of remixes, then you can download an instrumental version of Parralox’s contribution on the spot. A sweet thing it is, too. Parralox’s John von Ahlen treats the original material with (a little) respect, while infusing the track with the sophisticated pop stylings that are his trademark. With sequencers set to stun and arpeggiators in rapid-fire mode, it’s a dancefloor-storming monster, but one charged with emotion and draped in Armani.
