Poi Dog Pondering are an amazing band with roots in Hawaii, Austin and Chicago. Their music shape-shifts around genres and they’re not afraid to jump between rock, soul, house and traditional Polynesian sounds.
I was stoked when Frank Orrall asked me to choose a track from the album “In Seed Comes Fruit” to remix. Unfortunately, this remix was never released. But recently, I started tinkering with the mix and came up with this new version.
Poi Dog have a new album out called “7″ and they’re currently on a national tour supporting it.

Gavin,
Thank you so much,
Your interpretation really evolves the song, and takes it much deeper:
The rain – the dawn coming on – the opening – the feeling that life re-news itself again.
I’ve always felt that music itself tells the story completely with out words, and that words only get in the way – or, at best give it punctuation, (or sharp corners to the flow of emotion) – but your re-vision combines all, and builds into emotion/intuition (which is a much clearer compass).
Thank you,
Aloha,
Frank
Just to say I reckon PDPs ‘Thanksgiving’ is such a fantastic song. Didn’t realise they were still going.
