Jay Arner
"Get Freaky In the Club" (International Falls remix)

10/21/2009 By Josiah Hughes

Following his previous work with lush indie groups International Falls and The Poison Dart, Vancouver-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jay Arner is currently performing as the production side of dance-pop duo Fine Mist. Either way, everything he touches seems to be both irresistible on the ears and criminally underrated.

Replacing the songs beat with an uptempo slab of acoustic indie pop and horns courtesy of Fine Mist's other half, Megan McDonald, the song adds a dose of earnestness to Kelly's explicit sexing.

The petite brunette has just led me into the heart of the east Vancouver jam space where she and her identical twin Tegan are rehearsing for upcoming tours. The room we're in is expansive, chilly and draped in darkness aside from a single strip of light in the middle of the room; she drags a sofa under the wimpy illumination and offers it to me, taking a straight-backed chair opposite for herself. "If we were a genre film," she continues, "we'd be a documentary."... Read More
