Someone Great by Toadies
originally by LCD Soundsystem

c/o Cover Me who writes:

[Toadies] strip away the dense, swirling electronica of the original, but they don’t fill it with crunching guitars or minor key warbling. Instead, they hit you in the gut with… mandolin? Todd Lewis sings the words faithfully in the unaffected style of the original. With each plink of the mandolin, though, it feels like someone is tugging at your heartstrings. The dark confusion of the original sounds much lonelier and more primitive in this cover. For a band who built a legacy on being ominously menacing, they do a fine job capturing the heartache of a great song.
