Situationists “Digital Love (Daft Punk Cover)”
It’s kind of odd that a couple of days after their Tough Love label hypes the free-share of their studio-recorded cover of Daft Punk’s “Digital Love”, Sheffield indie pop band the Situationists announce their break up, but hey, there’s nothing like going out on a high we guess, which is precisely what this remake is.
Trading the original‘s smiley dance glow for an infectious punk-ish rambunctiousness, the Situationists provide some impressive instrumental intricacies here that catch hold of a great pop feel on more than one occasion (Of particular note is that brilliant breakdown section).
It’s definitely the better of the decent, but not fully satisfying, “Digital Love” covers we’ve already heard from other bands (and don’t tell anyone, but we might even like it a little more over the original), which only makes it sadder that we probably won’t be hearing anything more from this band.
This is awesome!!!!
Better than the original!
Excellent cover, but better than the original? Come on now…
You should listen to the Alphabeat version, it is way better than this !
