Why do we like this?
I'm definitely a sucker for indie bands doing covers of popular songs, so this Beautiful Small Machines cover of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" easily won me over.

According to duo Bree Sharp and Don DiLego's Soundcloud page, they were playing around during rehearsal one day and found that they were actually able to slay the track. So, they dusted off the banjo fro an official recording, and here we are today!

By Jason Grishkoff on Jul 20, 2014 | Daniela Andrade's new cover of "Latch" (the Disclosure song featuring Sam Smith) is simple, understated and really quite nice to listen to. Honestly, I'm not sure there's a whole lot more to say about it, beside that this would likely do well with a... read more →
