Telephoned, the Brooklyn cover/party band that wowed crowds (and even the critics at
Pitchfork) at
South By Southwest have released a free ep titled
Singles. All four songs are covers of tracks originally found on the soundtrack to the classic 1992
Cameron Crowe film
Singles - "Drown" (
Smashing Pumpkins), "Would?" (
Alice In Chains), "Nearly Lost You" (
Screaming Trees), and "May This Be Love" (
Jimi Hendrix). The covers sound decidedly different than the originals - the tracks feature female vocals (
Maggie Horn), and guitars have been replaced by
Sammy Bananas' electro-trip-hoppy grooves with help from Canadian producer
Ryan Hemsworth. Grunge loyalists may want to steer clear, but for everyone else it's kind of a fun take on some classic tracks. Stream the ep below and
download it for free here. Catch up with Telephoned on
Facebook and
Twitter.
