Kat Von D unveiled Gunship’s remix of their single “Exorcism” yesterday.

The two acts previously worked together on Gunship’s single “Black Blood Red Kiss.” Gunship’s Dan Haigh said this about the remix:

“I will always remember this session! I was in England, it was Christmas time, and in a rare delivery of winter holiday aesthetic, snow was on the ground. John Carpenter's 'The Thing' looped silently on the studio TV. Carpenter famously refrigerated his soundstages on that movie to allow Kurt Russell et al's exhaled breath to be visible to camera - I was achieving the same result, only via poor central heating. It was COLD in the studio. However I had a lot of fun - a 2 day studio bender fueled by Christmas dinner and 'monster munch' crisps, where I actually spilled gravy on a vintage Juno-106 synth. True story.
Exorcism is a great song with some fantastic hooks to it, and when Kat played me the demo I was immediately keen to have a play with it. I think both the cold and 'The Thing' played a subliminal influence on the final version, it's a gratuitously synthy version, with a touch of haunting cinematic atmosphere. I hope everyone digs it. Thanks to Kat for not only letting me have fun with this remix, but also for inviting myself and good friend Carl Bown to ultimately mix the album.”

Kat Von D said this about working with Gunship again:

“Gunship has been one of my all time favorite synth wave bands, so when we teamed up to have them remix Exorcism I was excited to say the least! Gunship’s remix gives a dark and nostalgic take on ‘Exorcism’ that makes the perfect soundtrack that would be playing if The Lost Boys were riding in Kit from Knight Rider.”

The remix stems from Kat Von D’s forthcoming “Exorcism” remix EP, which also features remixes from Cold Cave, Scratch Massive, Mr. Kitty, and Kraftwerk’s Henning Schmitz. Cold Cave’s remix will be released on October 29. The EP will drop on November 12. Gunship’s remix is out on digital services right now.

“Exorcism” comes from Kat Von D’s debut album Love Made Me Do It, which dropped last month.
