Arresting harmonies and a good beat. A solid 7.

The vocal parts seem soothingly close to the original while that melodic " hook ?"  and the up tempo beat all add up to very worthy re- working. IMHO not all the versions on the album pass the tests for a good cover. As is usual the rp team have extracted the essence of  new art for our grateful ears to enjoy.

Interesting cover! Not sure if I like it yet, but hopefully, it'll get lots of plays on RP to help me decide.

You can be less douchy (I guess) but don't leave only positive reviews.  I'm sick of all the cheerleaders in these comments beating down people who have every right to express an opinion about the music the don't like too.   Any shitty song they choose to play on this station (we know most of them aren't, of course) will inevitably have countless fawning accolades in the comments claiming genius, and anyone who dares call it out for being shitty is pilloried for being negative; told to keep their opinion to themselves and PSD.  They don't realize how negative THEY make the comments, by seeking to eliminate opinions they don't agree with.  By not wanting it to be inclusive.  And I listen to the stream on a player, so PSD isn't an option.

As for this song, it's funky and weird, and therefore I'd say it has a worthy place on RP, but yeah, I can't really argue with someone who thinks it should be nuked from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.  

Now watch the @$$holes thumb-down my comment, like clockwork...

Settled into a solid "8" now. This always grabs my attention and brings curiosity and intrigue.

I had to turn it off and go listen to Nick's original version on YouTube.

Not really sure why...

I've decided I definitely like it! I always find Aldous Harding's voice to be a bit creepy and jarring (in a good way), and for me, her vocals really make this song work.

VERY cool. New to me. Sounds just like PJ with him, but must be Aldous. Also has a little Wire feel to it.

I like it.

Never been first to comment. Only like to say positive things about the good humans who make music. So sounds pretty good for driving long stretches. BTW who's the singer? 

I really don’t understand that someone covers this song 

I’m sorry, but this is just so mediocre. The opening drums are uneven, the singing thin and wan. So little to make it interesting. The original is so much better. 

This is fantastic !!!

Not only do they "fit" into the "eclectic" category, I think it's quite interesting to hear an artist "pay homage" to the original, by doing it in their own fashion! This J. Parish & co version, I find much "cleaner" than Nicks.

I doubt it's cheaper, but even if it was, I'm sure that is very low on William's priority list. it is simply that William has a thing for covers. He enjoys them and it is kinda fun (usually).

Very much sounded to me like it might be a work of Jose Gonzalez and Junip until I checked...there are indeed some Interesting sounds in there, Captain... Aldous Harding; wow, this listen, I caught that flutter

Dat bassline. 

Kinda chirpy version of this song.

I do like it.

Slow ride, take it easy...
