The Solvents Cover Beyonce and Madonna
Who doesn’t love a surprising, solid cover song? Port Townsend residents and long time Sound on the Sound favorites The Solvents certainly deliver the goods with these two videos, which the band recorded this weekend.
First up is the band covering Beyonce’s “Halo,” a song that sounds more mounrful, but just as catchy with a Solvents string arrangement and Jarrod Paul Bramson’s Gibbard-meets-Mangum vocals. The second video is a slowed-down take of Madonna’s “Get Into the Groove.” Ever wonder what this dance track would sound like as a downtempo dirge? Now you know.
Jarrod tells me the covers are part of a Solvents cover CD which the band is recording in their Port Townsend living rooms and will hopefully be available by Christmas. We can’t wait to hear what they cover next.
