Fly away and escape reality for a moment with the catchy dance tune “Pigeons” by Brooklyn duo The Hundred in the Hands. The dance pop song is already perfect for clubs, but remix gurus Foals went ahead and added their own spin.

Check out the original version here and then listen to the Foals’ take here. We’ve had both on repeat, but we really love the extension that Foals gives it with its trumpeting music interlude about two minutes in. The descending bass line also gives the song a darker edge than the bubbly original. Adding to the darkness, is the way Foals’ latches on to the lyric, “Fly away,” and uses that to help fade out their six minute take on the song just as they led into it.

“Pigeons” will be on the The Hundred in the Hands’ debut self-titled album due out September 21.
