Do Me Calvinist Ft AM Valentine - WeakheartDrop

The best rock song I've heard on this site. To be fair, I haven't heard that many, but this is really, really good. The bassline, the atmosphere, the vocals - all excellent. Just love the mood of this.

2nd review as more thoughts struck:
Backing is dark, almost Goth, atonal disturbing, total deconstruction of the original, stripped of the confetti and candy floss, this is a menacing, brooding take on something, more Dexter (involvement in the macabre and digging it) than any love story boy/girl thing. Modern brutalism of the bass is superb, reminding me of a slowed down Clash, Paul Simenon quasi Dub bass via Jah Wobble, in post-modern minimalism. Drums with shakers, tambourine and percussion sound good, especially crack of the snare, but more editing out to give light & shade and let those scything chops of electroshock guitar do their work. Also reminds me of Portishead.

2. Her Vocals! Why is she not famous already? This is Sandy Denny's evil twin sister, some PJ Harvey in there too, but then again, totally original; the vocals will stand more of the backing doing less, but the backing is fine in itself. Spine=chilling voice

What a mean bass line; it drives the piece along, I like that chugging guitar that comes in half way through that fleshes out the notes. Vocals are great - what a voice. Hard to classify into genre but amazing stuff and a firm favourite of a song I would never have believed I would listen to with any great pleasure until now. The dark side of desire

Beautiful. love the piece. Again, this piece has a very coherent sharing of perfect atmosphere with instruments and vocals.

Agree to Jamscience, this song is catching you, no chance to escape. Absolutely great stuff! Very good progressing.
Definite shades of Björk in there :). Good job!

Hi, saw this in the top window and the title caught me. After the intro I was thinking w.t.f! but as the tune progressed I was hooked. Its so off the wall its on the ceiling!lol! wicked bassline underpinning the track and tasty vox as well. Would have liked to heard a bit more of AM Bird as she got a little lost in the mix a couple of times but this is the best cover of a cap and T song ever. definite shades of Sonic Youth in there. Well done!
