I came home for the day just to see Klaxons show @ Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ tonight.
I don’t got too much time to post, but I wanted to share this amazing cover that the hardworking Blackbird Blackbird did of Modest Mouse’s “Float On”. He transformed it into a dreamy, synthed out delight that gives the song a whole new feel. He took the task of “covering” to the highest level.
Download the cover below. I found it via Wild Tonic.
