Listen to The Dø take on Janelle Monaé‘s “Tightrope” at Studio Pigalle in Paris.
Swedish duo The Dø recorded a cover of Janelle Monaé’s killer song “Tightrope” from 2010′s “The ArchAndroid” last summer and, though the track was released about a month ago, it’s just coming to my attention now. The pair stretch out the tune to a whopping 9 minutes, slowing everything down and giving it a much more chilled-out attitude. They even include an intense 3-minute guitar solo in the middle like it’s nobody’s business.
Listen to the song below and then go revisit last year’s “Both Ways Open Jars”, an album you may have missed, but really shouldn’t have.
