These Hidden Hands have tapped quite a crew of left-field producers to tweak last year’s Vicarious Memories LP. Aside from featuring such longtime s/t favs as Lustmord and JK Flesh (a.k.a. Justin Broadrick of Jesu and Godflesh), this week’s Vicarious Memories Remixed EP highlights the surgical precision of Telefon Tel Aviv co-founder Joshua Eustis.
