Bibi Club Cover Stereolab’s Orgiastic

I’m of the belief that Bibi Club‘s Feu de Garde was one of last year’s severely overlooked albums, and hopefully with the newly announced deluxe edition, people will revisit it a bit. Today, I’m happy to guide you towards the group’s cover of Stereolab’s “Orgiastic,” which highlights the band’s sharper edge in regards to their pop constructionism. While I love the original version, it can feel heavy at times due to the percussive element and the setting of the vocals in the mix. In contrast, Bibi Club clear out some of the space, letting the voice shine a little more up front, pushing more angular notes, and the rolling electronic elements are removed periodically before a noise blast sets the song completely in motion. Feu de Garde (Les Braises) will be out May 9th via Secret City Records.
