Why do we like this?
The dream pop rockers from Minneapolis and Chicago are back! We've covered quite a few ON AN ON tracks on the Shuffle before (personal favorites include "Ghosts" and The Hunter") and today, we're excited to premiere their cover of Bjork's "Unison."
ON AN ON transforms Bjork's track into a rich indie rock song full of ambient pop layers and ghostly vocals. This is a band that likes to color outside the lines, and the textured instrumentals give this cover a delicious heaviness that makes you want to close your eyes and let Nate Eiesland's vocals wash over you.
When asked how they decided to cover this particular song, ON AN ON said:
The band did all of the recording in an isolated cabin in the mountains of Vermont, partnering with Tom Biller (Warpaint, Liars, Karen O) to mix the song. Enjoy, and check out their full-length, Give In, for more.
Oh, and the band is also selling a limited edition cassette tape with their cover of "Unison" and a cover of Hot Chip's "Boy From School" as a tour exclusive merch item this fall -- check out the tour dates below to get your paws on the tape!

When asked how they decided to cover this particular song, ON AN ON said:
"We chose "Unison" because Bjork is an artist that all we revere. We all can agree on the power of her songs, and "Unison" in particular stuck out, as it is the last track on the very influential album Vespertine. It resonated in the places that we want to explore with our sound and direction as a band."
