Jensen Sportag Max Tundra Remix, EP Out Tomorrow.

Jensen Sportag’s latest EP, Jackie, is out tomorrow. The 9-track release features three originals and a slew of bonuses, including live versions, JS-helmed re-edits, and a few raucous remixes. Last week, Pitchfork offered up one of the short-player’s strongest tracks: the punchy remix of “Cocktease” by Jensen-crushing Englishman Max Tundra. Download for yourself below.
MP3: Jensen Sportag – Cocktease (Max Tundra Remix)


“It's official: Max Tundra is totally crushing on Nashville's Jensen Sportag. First, he name-checked the electro-pop duo in his cover of Hot Chip's "Playboy" (instead of "Yo La Tengo", Tundra is "Blazin' out to Jensen Sportag" in the whip), and this past January, he named the group's "Jackie" as one of his current favorite older tunes in his own Pitchfork Guest List. Now everything has finally come full circle: the forthcoming Jackie EP not only features Mr. Tundra's favorite Jensen jam of the same name, but also a Tundra-helmed remix of JS's "Cocktease". Sexy and frenetic, Tundra dices up the runway-glam of the original and lets it run wild, resulting in dizzying loops that sound like a rabid Sonic the Hedgehog trying to win a drag contest.” - Pitchfork

A “deluxe edition” Jackie tracklist:

1 – Jackie: The title track is celebratory with a central theme of desire and shifts musically between 3 compositional quotations from pop rock. It is lyrically fashioned after the american girl tribute song. i.e: Oh Sheila, Joanna, Sussudio etc.

2 – Victim: This one has an overtly sexual message with musical references to early electro rap and epic soul.

3 – Cocktease: San Fransisco house and power pop provide setting for this girl gone bad story. i.e: Runaround Sue, Maneater, Girl Gone Bad, etc.

+ Bonus Materials:

4 – Jackie (Jensen’s Arpeggio Mix)
5 – Victim (Live Version)
6 – Cocktease (Jensen’s Cock-Cuts Mix)
7 – Jackie (Justin Kase Remix)
8 – Cocktease (Max Tundra Remix)
9 – Jackie (Sats + Sojourn Remix)
