Kansas City's Brandon Phillips is a talent masquerading under many names. Mensa Deathsquad is his electronic project. Through a connection with Sweet Cheetah Publicity, Mensa Deathsquad remixed a track from the recent album "Thee Attack" by the Dayton space pop band XL427. In a style that Phillips describes as "Shoegaze Rollerdisco", "Ideas (Mensa Deathsquad Remix)" is releasing digitally everywhere on September 24, which intentionally coincides with International Massacre a Mosquito Day, a made-up holiday that XL427's Andy Ingram celebrates every year to commemorate his struggle and survival from the West Nile Virus the singer contracted in 2010.
A limited 7" vinyl with the remix on Side A and the original on Side B is available to pre-order in the Poptek Shop now.
