[SYNTH/POP] Child Actor – “Ordinary World” (Duran Duran Cover)

October 8, 2013 Kris

Last year, New England duo Child Actor released their Victory EP – and to my dismay, I didn’t hear a single thing from it. Shame on me, I know. However it’s always better late than never, as I’ve stumbled upon this group just in time for their new 4-track EP, titled Promise. Collaborating between New […]

[INDIE/FOLK] Fleet Foxes – “Don’t Save Me” (HAIM Cover)

October 2, 2013 Lauren Walker

Well clearly I cannot get enough of HAIM. I actually stumbled on this cover in my Soundcloud feed and didn’t recognize the song until I caught myself singing along. I even had to Google the track name, and when Haim came up I literally slapped by palm on my forehead. Did I not tell you, […]

Janelle’s cover is soothing, soulful and pleasing in all […]

August 28, 2013 Kris

Oh sweet bliss, my eardrums are rejoicing at the sounds permeating below. Glasgow based indie-rock troupe Franz Ferdinand have created an altogether sultry acoustic reproduction of Grimes‘ hypnotic single “Oblivion.” Trying to hit the feminine range of Grimes’ vocals is tough enough, but Alex Kapranos does a superb job holding on to the gossamer vibe […]

[SYNTH POP] Clubfeet – “Remind Me” (Röyksopp Cover)

August 19, 2013 Kris

More than a decade ago, Röyksopp released “Remind Me,” a track that now brings back images of my childhood long past, yet not forgotten – fitting imagery for the title of the track. Turns out the Norwegian duo has a knack for creating highly nostalgic songs – tracks that leave you missing the good old […]
