The joy of repetition really is in you...

Today the Black Ghosts release "Repetition Kills You" a track featuring guest vocals from Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz fame.

The song itself is quite good. Like the rest of the album it is produced well and has a catchy poppy feel. After Boy 8-Bits hugely succesful remix of "Anyway you choose to give it" I was glad when the rest of the album featured video game-esque synths and bleeps and that is evident here. I'm a huge fan of Damon Albarn and althoughI find him a little unnessary on this track, he does complement Simon Lords vocals well. Personally it isn't dark enough for me so I was excited when I found out the single features remixes from RAC, Phones, Diplo, Laidback Luke, and Emperor Machine. The Diplo and Laidback Luke versions don't offer much, but the Phones (Paul Epworth) mix is exciting and dark. The Emperor Machine mix is probably the most successful though and the funked up bass line adds a new dimension to the original.
