SQÜRL Covers The Velvet Underground

It’s a Thursday, so naturally I’m ready for any kind of track that’s weighty, and it’s a good thing that SQÜRL, the band formerly known as Bad Rabbit, are back– they released a track a few month ago from their third EP and now they’ve got this sweet cover of The Velvet Underground‘s, “Ocean.” Normally covers, let alone covers of legendary songs make me want to run in the opposite direction with my hands over my ears, but when I had a listen to this one I was simply entranced by the sonic heaviness of this track. The squalls of feedback and layers of instrumentation hit you in wave upon wave of noise and take you elsewhere. Enjoy the cover below and go order their EP #3 here.
