Lykke Li

I already brought you Mike D's remix of the lovely Lykke Li's "Get Some," and now Beck has morphed and twisted her sexy single off her upcoming sophomore album into a rhythmically stilted and monstrous verison.

There are no hints of its former self in the beginning, just the growls of its transformation and then the squeaks of an indiscernible voice leading you to the cave where Beck has locked the original chorus. Looping verses redundantly until the jarring shock of a shotgun, this remix layers poignant verses with Lykke Li's soulful vocalizations that usually segues the track from chorus to verse. Hear this beast above and trap it for keeps below, then take a gander at the Wounded Rhymes tracklisting and 2011 tour dates:

02 I Follow Rivers
03 Love Out Of Lust
04 Unrequited Love

09 Jerome
10 Silent My Song
