The Very Best “Ambling Alp” (Yeasayer Overdub)

14 Feb

The Very Best Ambling Alp (Yeasayer Overdub) favorite songs

turned “Ambling Alp” on its head, like they did to other contemporary classics like M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” and “Boyz”, and also Vampire Weekend’s “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” on their critically acclaimed introductory mixtape. I still don’t know what Esau Mwamwaya is saying, but it sounds joyous and vibrant like most of ’s music.

Interesting thought: after overdubbed M.I.A. and Vampire Weekend on their mixtape, they both appeared on ’s album. Could this mean we will be listen to a proper - collaboration soon? I sure hope so. Download/stream ’s take on “Ambling Alp” below, and remember, you can download the original here for free.

  1. Download: The Very Best - ‘Ambling Alp’ (Yeasyer overdub | ZME Music) - 12. Feb, 2010

    [...] Like in the case of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” and “Boyz” orVampire Weekend’s “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa”, the smashing simple of the year’s first quarter, Yeasayer’s “Ambling Alp”,  has been turned 180 degrees by The Very Best who left their distinct electro-funk imprint on it. The original vocals have been scrapped altogether and replaced by Esau Mwamwaya’s indescifrable lyrics, but which still retain the song’s jovial, up-beat spirit. Granted, it’s a wonderful reinterpretation that will definitely make your day feel a lot better. [via Pretty Much Amazing!] [...]
