# EB Listening: Stream the Close remix of When Saints Go Machine’s “Mannequin”
Danish electro pop stylists [When Saints Go Machine][1]{:
target="_blank"} are having a hell of a year. Their third album
Infinity Pool represented a shift towards the edge for the
four-piece; everything from the Netscape artwork to the Killer Mike
appearance signalled a band willing to step away from the quirky dance
pop safe zone of "Kids On Vacation" or "You Or the Gang".
To help them thrash out this weirder course, the band have roped in
[Close][2]{: target="_blank"} for a remix of *Infinity Pool*'s single
"Mannequin". Close is, of course, the new project by British producer
(and Electronic Beats Magazine contributor) [Will Saul][3]{:
target="_blank"} and by golly, is he on a darker jag with this remix;
adding a cheesewire bass line that wouldn't be out of place on The
Cure's early records, the track takes on a medicated slant
with Nikolaj Vonsild's quavering vocals more affecting---and
strange---than ever.
What's more, When Saints Go Machine have lined up a string of European
dates which we can exclusively announce below. As you can see, the band
are playing Electronic Beats Festival Vienna alongside [Giorgio
Moroder][4]{: target="_blank"}, [Metro Area ][5]{: target="_blank"}and
[Laurel Halo][5]{: target="_blank"} on November 23rd---grab tickets
[here][6]{: target="_blank"} and [watch a live video][7] from EB
Festival Prague, recorded in 2011.
