I am so excited I can barely contain myself, so I’ve decided not to. The big news today is that I am home from tour and am preparing to get back in the studio to work on a new single with one of my all-time musical heroes (and Godfather of the indie electropop genre) Belgian Producer Arne Van Petegem (aka Styrofoam)!

He has worked with Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie/The Postal Service), Mum, Jimmy Eat World and a handful of other super talented folks previously, so…I am really honored that he wrote a song for me and that we are finally going to work together on something original!

Pretty fun, right? I’ll be sure and let you know more as this unfolds, but HELL YES for now!

Watch Styrofoam’s “After Sunset” music video:

One of my favorite records of all time was made by Belgian one-man-band Styrofoam (aka Arne Van Petegem). I won’t tell you which one (because they are all good) and you should buy them all and then find your own favorites amongst them. I love every record this guy has ever put out but one of them changed my life (that’s a little over the top, actually…but you catch my drift.)

I realize this is a little bit creepy fanboy of me (ok, fine—it’s TOTALLY creepy fanboy of me) but he gave me a shout-out in this month’s issue of Mint Male Magazine that made me smile and I feel compelled to brag about it.

You can read the full interview with Arne HERE but pay close attention to question #4.

…and I quote:

“Mint Male Magazine: What are your favorite songs you’ve remixed?

Styrofoam: There are so many it would do the others injustice to pick out just a single one. One of my favorite recent ones is the Logan Lynn remix. I’d never heard his stuff before he got in touch with me and then I went and listened to it and I was just so blown away.”

HA! Uhhh… Are. You. Kidding. Me??? This is totally fucking amazeballz.

Note: This remix is longer than the time allowed for by this particular video maker, so this clip is just the middle section of the song.

Remix by Styrofoam.
