Fat Dog's "Peace Song" gets the Jimmy Cauty treatment

Today, Fat Dog are pleased to share a new remix of “Peace Song” by TowerBlock1 aka Jimmy Cauty (The KLF and The Orb). Pulling out threads from the original including Joe Love’s refrain “When the war is over”, the children’s choir and isolated dog barks, TowerBlock1 twists them all into something more ominous and anarchic. Nodding to rave culture, Cauty adds a jungle beat, police sirens before concluding with an Elvis-referencing sample.

The video – directed and animated by Evan Lawday with 3-D modelling by Luka Davlianidze – sees characters from the original “Peace Song” video return for some breakdancing and the running man in the streets of South East London. 

Fat Dog recently performed at BBC 6 Music’s Festival – watch their vociferous set closer “Running” here. After their headline show at London’s Troxy at the end of this month, the band will head out to a busy summer of festivals including BBC’s Radio 1 Big Weekend, Wide Awake, Green Man, Boomtown, Sziget, All Together Now, Roskilde and more. Additionally, the band will head back to the US in September for Atlanta’s Shaky Knees festival.
