Take the eerie post-dubstep mechanisms of Jai Paul's BTSTU and add to it the cheery indie charm of Boy Mandeville's guitar licks - the result, a rather nice cover version, which the band performed live on XFM the other day.
We reviewed Boy Mandeville's excellent single Gorilla on the blog back in May, and it's nice to see the radiant little Vampire Weekend-esque guitar hooks back on this cover, substituting the rumbling low-pitched synths of the Jai Paul original.
With the vocals more exposed in this take, the track becomes more humanised - distancing itself from the almost alien otherness originally present in the song.
We like!
