new love is all: “darling nikki” (prince cover)
Man I love Love is All. The Swedes recently completed a 5-song covers EP, featuring their versions of songs by Flock of Seagulls, Dire Straits, and a few more. The band just upped one track from the EP, a super lo-fi and totally rad cover of Prince's "Darling Nikki," to their myspace page. The song is a fairly straightforward cover, complete with an over-the-top Josephine-channeling-Prince scream session that is pretty much awesome. Go have a listen.

If you've ever wondered what this would sound like as a Jay Dee banger, you're in luck: here's "Trucks," taken from Dilla's shelved album Pay Jay, which will hopefully see the light of day on Stones Throw in the near future. (via)
