STREAM: Anika - In The City (Chromatics Cover)
There's something about that late '70s New York grime. When we hear something that sounds like it – with its mix of disco, punk, attitude and dirt – we run over like little helpless animals at feeding time. That's basically what Anika has pulled-off with her cover of Chromatics' stunning "In The City." The track comes from a sampler for Invada Records, which is the imprint of Geoff Barrow from Portishead and Beak>.
DOWNLOAD: The Limousines - Call Me Al (Paul Simon Cover)
San Francisco indie-electronic band The Limousines, formed of multi-instrumentalist/producer Giovanni Giusti and songwriter/vocalist Eric Victorino, is known for its fun, dancey tracks as seen on last year’s debut Get Sharp. Now the band is offering its take on the Paul Simon classic “Call Me Al,” and while that’s definitely well-trodden territory, I find this rendition fairly imaginative and infused with new life. Simon probably didn’t realize his potential to pen dance tracks!
