Oh yeah. This rules.

For each band or artist, your covers of songs say a lot about your music and your soul. Here we’ve got a loud, sparkling chunk-chunk rock group covering a gentle, wistful radio song by a bunch of Bristol University chaps who lounged on the campus lawn flicking their strings after The Wall fell, and it’s fantastic. It says a lot.

Kelly Duplex decided to give us their take on a universally intoxicating pop sensation from 1990—it’s that song that everyone in the world doesn’t realize they know, but they know. Their new version is a blaring, crashing rendition with crunchy saccharine nerve. It’s a little Jimmy Eat World, it’s a little Neutral Milk, but it’s mostly them, and gosh darn somebody is playing on the playground with the bass guitar.

The most difficult aspect to covering a song is getting someone to momentarily forget how the original song went. Kelly Duplex does that. The singer made subtle decisions to change how he sang the song and put his own sublime ‘Merican inflection on it. All of it works so well. When you go back to listen a second time, you want to sing it in the car like he does. That’s tough to pull off. In fact, what comes to mind is The Sundays pulling off a cover of ‘Wild Horses’ and making that version the one you want to hear. Kelly Duplex makes this song triumphantly theirs for four minutes. Kudos.

Their song is accompanied by a simple music video of purples, greens, haircuts and straight up hangin’ out in the garage (in this usage pronounced the English way: gaar-idge). Want to be right there with the three guys? There you go. The statement is sincere: Huh? Just getting together, playing a fav at the spot. Cool with you?

What would Harriet Wheeler (the singer for The Sundays) think? That must be the question of the day. I believe in this instance she would smile. This beloved cover is just as playful and lovely as it ever was, and I think she’d like that. I like that.
