Musical anthropologist for life’s idiosyncrasies, Baba Stiltz has helped immortalise the Ikea Hack in 4/4 form on a new remix of Bell Towers for Public Possession. He seems a logical choice both for the subject matter and a label who have an equally droll approach to their creative output. With recent news of Baba’s signing to XL, let’s hope perky, nine-minute furniture forays aren’t a thing of the past for this Swedish patriot.
When flatpacks are a distant memory of a bygone consumerist age and your grandchildren come across an old buzzed article asking what an Ikea Hack is, put a gentle hand on their shoulder and stick Baba on the speakers.
Bell Towers – Ikea Hack EP is out 25th May – buy from Redeye and Phonica.
