Titus Andronicus just released a remixed version of one of my favorite songs from The Most Lamentable Tragedy. This version of "Fired Up" will appear on the final installment of the Titus Andronicus #SEVENSEVENINCHES series.
The remixed version removes the drums and electric guitar of the original, focusing on Owen Pallett's string arrangements and piano. I always felt that the strings on The Most Lamentable Tragedy were one of the things that took the record out of the realm of simply concept album into something rock operatic and theatrical. They gave many of the songs on the album the feel of a big production number, and "Fired Up" always felt like one of the biggest. Maybe the remixed version loses a little of its traditional rock and roll feel, but it retains all of its power.
This may end up being my last Titus Andronicus-related post for the year (Maybe not. Who knows?). In case it is, I'd just like to say thanks to Patrick and the band not only for releasing my favorite album of 2015 but also for being great supporters of this site and real nice human beings.
Check out the remixed version of "Fired Up" below and head over to titusandronicus.net to keep up with the band on everything, including their recently announced set of March tour dates with Craig Finn.
