Tamper – Red Socks Pugie (Foals Cover)
Re-working of Foal’s ‘Red Socks Pugie’ by Brooklyn duo Tamper. A glimmering, soaring and solid rendition that takes the original and adds a truckload of heavy emotion and grit. A cover that is as far from the original as you could care to get, without losing the originals essence. ‘Red Socks Pugie’ is the follow up to another re-working they created of Santigold’s ‘Disparate Youth’. Which both form part of a new summer covers compilation which will also include covers of Brand New, and Local Natives.
Shy Kids – Spirituals
Fans of Vampire Weekend will appreciate the new track from Toronto-based indie rock band Shy Kids. Sporting a wondrous hybrid electro, indie rock, pop sound which seems to take you on an adventure. ‘Spirituals’ is taken from their recent debut album ‘Lofty’, and showcases the band’s rather interesting sound. From wonky synths, electronic melodies and powerful guitar led sections, right through to the tracks closing orchestral roar. You can never be quite sure what Shy Kids will throw at you next. The band’s debut ‘Lofty’ is out now.
Arizona – People Crying Every Night
Latest track from New Jersey trio Arizona. Marking a new sustained release schedule and the follow-up to the trio’s tender re-working of Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood’. ‘People Crying Every Night’ picks up that demure vibe and builds it up around a subtle tropical house infused melody. Giving the overall track a strange halfway sense of being mellow and upbeat at the same time. ‘People Crying Every Night’ is out now.
