Koala Bear Sleep Schedule — Austin Johnson's side project — is taking you back to 1983, with his cover of an internationally charting hit record. This down-tempo revision of Spandau Ballet's "True" brings a classic back to life.
The thing that really grabbed my attention with this cover is the vocals, which are so remarkably close to the original that I had to reach out to him and confirm if they were a slowed down version, or if they were truly his.
His response made my night, because prior to that I asked about three friends to see what they thought. They obviously all thought it was an incredible cover, but none were positive if they were his or not.
