Platinum-certified prog rock outfit Coheed And Cambria have reimagined their track “Goodbye, Sunshine” with Nick Hexum of multi-platinum rap rockers 311 newly involved. Rather than a mere remix of the aforementioned track, this new ‘Endless Summer’ version was written from scratch with a ‘tropical’ vibe in mind. Helping them capture that vision is the featured co-production from tenured dub producer/mixer Scientist, who also brought horns, keys and and additional percussion elements to the song.
Vocalist/guitarist singer Claudio Sanchez spoke of this radical reworking, “The arrangement was born out of a Chicago Q101 Pop-Up stripped down radio performance. We enjoyed the version so much, we chose to explore it further by enlisting the help of 311’s Nick Hexum and dub producer The Scientist.”
A music video for this radical was shot with director Josh Forbes, who has previously worked with the band in the past. Sanchez added of that clip:
“It plays within the concept of the alternate realities we explored in our previous videos for our new album ‘The Father of Make Believe,’ while paying homage to one of our earliest videos, ‘A Favor House Atlantic‘ with some inspiration from the 1986 Harold Ramis comedy film, ‘Club Paradise’.”
