Chvrches - Tightrope

Ok I will concede that these guys are actually pretty good. I wasn't really sold on them up until now, but this is a great cover of Jonelle Monáe that really shows their talent. They use cool grungy throwback synths kind of like Com Truise, and it's Lauren Mayberry's vocals that really seal the deal. It's not a traditional sound at all, it's quite girlish-sounding, but there's that subtle trailing vibrato at the end that just adds weight where it's not expected. Colour me impressed.
