\"Bon<\/a>Bon Homme<\/a><\/strong> is the side project of electronic music aficionado,\u00a0Tomas H\u00f8ffding<\/a><\/strong>. Originally the lead singer and bass player of Danish rockers, WhoMadeWho<\/a><\/strong>, H\u00f8ffding\u00a0decided to venture out in 2011 to create a one man show of sweeping electronic synthesizers, loops galore, and his beloved glockenspiel.<\/p>\n

H\u00f8ffding recently debuted “Daybreaker”off of his A Life Less Fancy<\/em> album, featuring Lydmor<\/a><\/strong>, a female electro Danish artist. The track garnered much praise and buzz, eventually capturing the attention of\u00a0Kasper Bj\u00f8rke<\/a><\/strong>, a Danish DJ and producer. An already captivating and hypnotic track to begin with, Bj\u00f8rke (not to be confused with\u00a0Bj\u00f6rk)\u00a0reworked the song from a three minute, somewhat relaxing electronic soundscape into a beat-blasting five minute anthem. Emphasizing the looped drum machine and H\u00f8ffdings’ haunting falsetto-tinged\u00a0voice,\u00a0Bj\u00f8rke created a more mesmerizing experience, leaving the listener wishing the track would never end.<\/p>\n

“Daybreaker” is a song about realizing that things aren’t going as swimmingly as you thought in your relationship. Bj\u00f8rke works his indelible magic to make the message more deliberate, embedding it into the psyche. However, one emerges with their head held high,\u00a0 feet stomping to the beat. Lydmor is the Kimbra to Bon Homme’s Gotye, making for a remarkable featured verse, driving the memo of detaching yourself from a relationship shrouded in miscommunication home.<\/p>\n

The electroclash style of Kasper\u00a0Bj\u00f8rke is arguably his bread and butter, so it only makes sense that he chose a\u00a0Tomas H\u00f8ffding piece to play with.\u00a0All in all, Bj\u00f8rke reworked the song into a less ambient and more exuberant and purposeful track, sure to bring even the most uneducated electronic listeners into the folds of their universe.<\/p>\n
