Kee Avil’s "Crease Remixed" plays like a beautifully haunted puzzle box, cracked open by four distinct minds, each pulling its pieces in new directions - none of which seem eager to lead you out of the darkness.

First, there's Ami Dang’s remix of "And I", a blend of ethereal vocals and disorienting delays that makes you wonder if you're falling into a glitchy dream. Then, Pelada's take on "Gone Again" catapults us into Montreal's sweaty underground club scene - a momentary lapse of grim restraint into something feverishly kinetic. Cecile Believe adds an unsettling, almost disarmingly bright twist to "See, My Shadow", balancing delicate euphoria and a gnawing sense of decay.

But it's Claire Rousay’s re-imagining of "I Too, Bury" that hits hardest. She weaves in voicemails, snippets of everyday life, and fractured atmospherics, all while dragging Kee Avil’s already ominous original vocals into a cavern of processed sound. It's as if Rousay is pulling apart time itself, and we're left contemplating each broken second.

The original "Crease" was a work of uncomfortable beauty - fissures of post-punk, electroacoustic detail, and gothic intimacy. Comparisons to artists like Scott Walker and Coil made sense. "Crease Remixed" takes those elements and builds something equally fractured but more outwardly expressive, like a shattered mirror reflecting four different artistic visions. It's a deconstruction of a deconstruction, a reminder that Kee Avil's world - remixed or not - is a place where disquiet reigns supreme.

Those listeners who like their music with jagged edges and existential mystery will definitely agree that "Crease Remixed" is a potent, fractured thrill.
