Despite being released over a year ago on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire OST, ‘Elastic Heart’ was still one of my favourite songs on Sia’s powerhouse 2014 record, 1000 Forms Of Fear. Despite the care the Aussie recluse has taken to hide her face from the spotlight, it’s only made it shine brighter on her as she goes from strength to strength, musically and artistically. As someone that clearly has a tight rein on her craft and the quality of its releases, Sia has been unleashing a series of often unexpected, but nonetheless brilliant, remixes online that bend her quirky emotional pop into new genres. With Odesza, Four Tet and now Clams Casino lending their names and skills to her tracks, she’s appropriately choosing producers who aren’t in her lane, but have a solid understanding of how to drive in it in order to transform her tracks in just the right way.

This latest Clams Casino remix of ‘Elastic Heart’ is one of the best yet in my opinion. Fresh off the back off Kristin Wiig’s her great Grammy’s performance, Sia dropped the remix on her own Soundcloud, giving the official seal of approval. New Jersey’s Clams Casino aka Clammy Clams has previously delivered knockout remixes for popsters Florence + The Machine and Lana Del Rey, so it’s not his first Top 40 rodeo; he’s known for shaping a pop hit into something a bit weirder. Sia’s original is heavy with punchy percussion, sirens and a soaring chorus, so naturally Clams flips it on its head and tones the whole thing down with his trademark ambient synths that throb alongside sparse claps and vinyl static pops. Where Sia’s vocal was powerful and clear, here it’s been stripped back to its skeleton with an echo that gives a sense of space and emptiness, like she’s singing in a cave. The powerful emotional tension in the vocal remains, however; a key feature that could never be altered.

What we have here is the Clams Casino triple threat; whittling Sia’s hit down to its core but building it back up beautifully, swamping the chorus in monstrous bass, airy synth loops and sharp percussion. White noise bleeds through constantly, haunting the listener alongside Sia’s heartbroken lyrics and delivery. Clams’ reimagination is complex without being showy and highlights further the emotional intensity found in Sia’s album cut. I find this version to be more intense than the original, not so much in terms of sonic power, but the way it broods and builds.

It’s a nice pairing of two highly selective and elusive musicians and will satisfy Clams Casino fans, like myself, who have been despairing of his lack of activity in comparison to 2011-2013 where he released three mixtapes and an EP. While that has meant a slew of production credits on the likes of A$APs Rocky & Ferg, Schoolboy Q,Blood Orange, Twigs and Jhené Aiko since, I’m still hoping that a new instalment of his Instrumentals mixtape will be coming somewhere on the horizon.

Shia LaBeouf video aside, “Elastic Heart” is one of the best songs off Sia’s excellent 1000 Forms Of Fear, and now Clams Casino has re-imagined it on a languid remix. The original is taut with sirens and bursts of percussion, but Clams tones down the verve in favor of fluttery, swampy synths. Despite her claims of resilience, Sia still sounds like she might snap, and that anxiety is part of what makes this song such a crucial part of your heartbreak recovery plan. Sometimes all you can do is keep going through the motions despite the disturbance lurking underneath, and Clams’ version of “Elastic Heart” subtly spotlights that tension. Listen below.

1000 Forms Of Fears is out now on Monkey Puzzle/RCA.
