I'm totally infatuated with acoustic covers of songs, I just think its is so interesting to see how songs are re-interpretted into a smoother sound. I was reminded of a particular cover the other night while driving with a few friends. It was a cover of the newly minted indie-classic
"Sleepyhead" by
Passion Pit. The song is covered by a band called Run Toto Run (not to be confused with the 80's rock band,
Toto famous for the song
"Africa").
The song makes prominent use of what sounds like a glockenspiel and fiddles (which sound amazing under these circumstances). I can't really pass too much judgement on a cover live this (it is pretty hard to live up to Passion Pit in terms of this song). However, as far as covers go this one sounds incredibly good.
