Ruby Weapon “Two Weeks (Grizzly Bear Cover)”/ “Don’t Worry Baby (Beach Boys Cover)”
Just like the rest of the Internet world, we’re finding it just as difficult to not keep spinning Grizzly Bear’s “Two Weeks” over and over, but is there anyone else out there surprised that there aren’t an excessive array of remixes of the tune making it’s way through the blogosphere right now?
We understand how most DJ/ producers might be intimidated by the flawless original, that genius Fred Falke re-tool and that endlessly intriguing dead prez mash-up, but that hasn’t stopped them from tinkering with everything else under the sun. You would think that with “Two Weeks” generating drooling praise for nearly a year now, there would be plenty of laptop-constructed remixes and/ or sample-crazed web-rapper joints for us to enjoy (or…well, hate).
While we sit back and eagerly anticipate that next “Two Weeks” ‘Net bomb to drop, catch the band’s new streaming live performance over at Spinner’s Interface studio, then take a listen to a well-handled acoustic rendition of “Two Weeks” by the mysterious Ruby Weapon that we’ve become quite enamoured with in recent weeks (alongside his dreamy handling of The Beach Boys’ “Don’t Worry Baby”).
Very little is known about this cat, aside from his equal love for Animal Collective, heavy reverb and YouTube slide show crafting, but his voice is amazing.
