If there is one Daft Punk song that could plausibly sound like it was recorded by actual human beings, it’s the ultra chilled out “Something About Us” from Discovery. Brooklyn band Twin Sister decided to seize on this opportunity, and performed a cover of the song on a rooftop in New York at a recent show.
This video demonstrates how the Twin Sister version of the song is remarkably similar to the original, with the band members hitting a perfectly placid groove and sticking with it admirably. It’s difficult to hear the vocals on this Ian Perlman-shot clip, but the following “All Around And Away We Go” goes some way toward rectifying that.

A few more songs can be found at Perlman's tumblr. Wonder where this was shot.
This was a last minute rooftop show a few nights ago. Twin Sister are one of my favorite bands around right now. Simply irresistible!
