Grizzly Bear, because they apparently have a lot of time on their hands, have released a cover of Hot Chip's sublime "Boy from School." Given that this is Grizzly Bear, it's not surprising that this sounds like an English for standard now. This should be a big ego boost for the Hot Chip guys though; this proves that their lyrics are more than dance music filler; they work in a folk context too. Gorilla vs. Bear's got the stream.
Hot Chip's got a new one coming out soon--One Life Stand is due out on Feb. 9.
this is proper, if sparsely arranged. but then again, it's a radio performance or something, innit?
Yeah it's for a programme called like a version on triple J radio in Australia, where they make you do a cover. It wasn't realeased, just ripped and bloggeda bout to death. That said, it's brilliant.

pretty solid cover, the original is the shiz though, hard to live up to...
This version is so much sadder.
