Kings Of Convenience bring out the drum kit to add a level of procession to this Joy Division cover. It has the feel of David Pajo's Papa M material, acoustic-based country post-rock gothic balladry. Quite a narrow genre really so it's nice to hear someone else rising to the challenge...
The song is based around a springy, cubic acoustic guitar pattern that takes on the main riff, set against the crisp, pure vocal. The drums and rolling bass add structure and some beautiful reverbed and distorted guitar make burst into life and make it a truly great cover. Sacrilege or otherwise.
