Vancouver/Edmonton duo Yes Nice have just launched a remixed version of their video “White Washed Walls”. It was directed by Jonathan Balazs who took advantage of having to stripe in the new audio by adding some new effects to the video. The song was remixed by Scott McKellar from the band. The song is the debut single from their “Warm Gun” album which will be released in the spring of 2015 via Sparks/Universal Music Canada. CBC Radio3 has already supported the track as it hovered in their Top Ten for 8 weeks peaking at # 5. Commercial radio stations across the country have started to spin the song as well. The new Indie 88 in Toronto played it several times in their ” Your First Listen” feature. Alan Cross also picked the song in his Top 11 Countdown and SiriusXM have supported it on both of their channels, The Verge and Iceberg.

The remixes were also released on iTunes and Bandcamp this week. Listen to the remixes below.
