Why do we like this?

I think I speak for all of us when say I first fell in love with MØ after her release of "Waste Of Time."  From playing our SXSW showcase back in 2013 to having one of the most listened to songs of 2015 ("Lean On"), I'd say MØ  has been doing alright.

Over the years we've heard many remixes of MØ, but it's this acoustic cover from Melbourne musician Lanks that breathes a new life into "Waste Of Time."  According to his SoundCloud page, Lanks left a note about the cover by saying, "I'm going to see MØ tonight so I thought I'd do a little improvised cover version at home with my guitar, loop station and a mic."

Yeah, why not?  While the track gets carried away at times, I think it's a clever rendition.
