To commemorate the success of the Eraserheads' reunion concert, SB19 and Nobita have put their own unique spin on the supergroup's beloved classics.
Released under Sony Music Entertainment, the revamped versions honor the timeless appeal of Eheads' music, while giving it a more contemporary flavor that resonates with the streaming audience.
SB19 captures the spirit of the holidays with their own take on "Christmas Party," a song off Eraserheads' fourth studio album Fruitcake.
"The Eraserheads are one of the most influential bands of our time. We retained everything that's great about the song, but made sure to add our own creative direction in terms of overall sound. There's a balance of artistic liberty and compromise in the way we approach the material, and we're definitely happy with how it turned out," SB19 said in a statement.
Their rendition of "Christmas Party" is produced by August Rigo, the hitmaker behind some of BTS' biggest global smashes "On" and "Black Swan".
Nobita, whose single "Ikaw Lang" is the most streamed song of 2022 according to Spotify Wrapped, expressed enthusiasm and gratitude upon learning they're part of a project that pays tribute to the generation-defining catalog of Eraserheads.
"Nobita heavily draws inspiration from their music, especially their brand of songwriting. Their work has shaped us into where we are now, and we're forever grateful to their enormous contribution to OPM artists, young and old," it said.
The alt-rock group adds a little jazz-pop treatment to "Magasin" with a surprising twist.
Besides the revamped tracks by some of today's biggest hitmakers, five of the Eraserheads' legendary albums were re-released in full 360-degree spatial sound to give listeners a new immersive music experience. These influential records include Ultraelectromagneticpop!: The 25th Anniversary Remastered Edition, Circus (25th Anniversary Remastered), Cutterpillow, Fruitcake, and Sticker Happy.
SB19's "Christmas Party" and Nobita's "Magasin" are out now on all digital music platforms worldwide.
