That Was
Fast:
Jetman Jet Team Cover My Bloody Valentine's "New You"
posted by DAVE SEGAL on The Stranger
Seattle’s Jetman Jet Team—unabashed My Bloody Valentine fans
that they are—have covered the most accessible song on MBV’s
somewhat-anticipated m b v,“New You”... one day after it was released digitally.
That's some serious 21st-century shit right there. JJT have delivered a very
nice, reverent sonic valentine to the shoegaze-rock gods’ sweet and pleasant
side; the original’s almost a kind of feathery triphop cut filigreed with Bilinda
Butcher’s “ooh ooh”s and “doo doo”s.
Jetman Jet Team’s
own compositions are worth your time, too, especially in a live context. Oh, hey, they also have a Kickstarter for their debut album, We Will Live the Space Age, on Saint Marie Records.
You can check out a six-track sampler of it after the jump.
