New music: Ultraista – Gold Dayzz (Chvrches remix)

Ultraista – who refer to themselves as a "multimedia trio" – are singer Laura Bettinson, drummer Joey Waronker and Nigel Godrich, whose midas touch has been present on most Radiohead albums. Their recent self-titled debut displayed their love of electronica and Afrobeat, while their videos betray not only their fondness for experimental visual art but also a love of tequila. While the original version of Gold Dayzz sounds as if it could have appeared on a recent Radiohead album (though Bettinson's voice is a little less whiny than Thom Yorke's), the song has been given a thorough going over by up and coming Glasgwegian trio Chvrches. For their remix – premiered here – the pared-down backing track has been fleshed out with a smattering of synths and, by the final minute or so, huge, hands-in-the-air rave moments that make the whole thing come alive.

• Gold Dayzz is released on 9 December on I Am Fortified.
