Confidence Man are keeping the party going with the release of their new remix album, 5AM (LA LA LA), featuring 15 reworked tracks from their critically acclaimed 3AM (LA LA LA).
The package includes remixes from legends like Orbital, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, and Jimmy Cauty, bringing fresh takes to the band’s already dynamic sound.
The album’s standout is the King Gizzard remix of ‘SICKO’, which introduces a psychedelic rock twist. Also featured is a breakbeat reworking of ‘FAR OUT’ by Orbital, showcasing the ongoing influence of 90s rave culture on their work.
Confidence Man continues their dominance in the live scene, following their sold-out shows at Brixton Academy and Glastonbury 2024, where they were hailed as one of the best live acts of the weekend. They’ll hit Primavera, Parklife, and APE this summer, cementing their reputation as a must-see festival act.
The remix package comes after their immersive collaboration with Jimmy Cauty, the Emergency Chill Clinic, which blends audiovisual experiences with remixes of 3AM (LA LA LA) for a full sensory journey.
