This has made quick rounds in the blogosphere since showing up on Wednesday, but I thought I’d share it here too because it’s pretty good.
Remember all the chatter about Beyonce and Jay-Z attending the Grizzly Bear show in Williamsburg this past summer? Well, apparently Beyonce’s sister Solange was the one who turned the two of them on to Grizzly Bear.
Solange’s love for the indie rock doesn’t end there, however, as evidenced by this cover of Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness is the Move.” Her version samples Soul Mann and The Brothers’ oft-used “Bumpy’s Lament,” and makes it a completely different beast. To paraphrase Ron Burgundy, it’s baby-makin’ music.
And while it may not bring Dirty Projectors much by way of crossover fame just yet, it shows the versatility of their music, and opens up the band to a whole new realm of fans.
