“Exactly what The Cannanes needed to mark their return.” – CMJ on the “Small Batch” EP

Last month, Australian duo The Cannanes (Fran Gibson and Stephen O’Neil) released its first collection of new material in over a decade.  The “Small Batch” EP has now been followed-up with the release of the appropriately titled “Small Batch Remixes” EP.  Tracks from the remix EP have already been circulating (see below for links to popular UK producer Richie Phoe’s reworkings), and now Diffuser.fm has premiered the Dr. Version remix of The Cannanes track “Zone” here.

Highly influenced by decades of listening to Jamaican dub and riddims (otherwise known as ‘versions’), Dr. Version is the newest project for Explosion Robinson producer, Stephen Hermann (Casiocore, Sukpatch.)  “I use the studio as a member of the band,” Hermann says of his work. “I use delays, effects, and analog tape saturation to mangle the sounds and push the boundaries of the concept of a remix.”

The Cannanes will visit the US for the first time in many years to promote the “Small Batch” releases and to appear live at the Chickfactor 21 festival, taking place June 11th-13th at The Bell House in Brooklyn, NY.  More info about the festival can be found here. 

The Cannanes have been releasing modest, ramshackle records since forming in Sydney, Australia almost 30 years ago.  Though essentially underground, the band has amassed a legion of fans in that time, including Kurt Cobain, who, it was later discovered, name-checked The Cannanes as a personal favorite in his posthumously published journals.

The Cannanes are available for interviews.  Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
