Hear DIIV’s Zachary Cole Smith cover (Sandy) Alex G’s ‘Icehead’
He’s shared a haunting version of the ‘DSU’ cut.
The ever-prolific (Sandy) Alex G is planning to bring a new
album ‘Rocket,’ out next month through Domino. For his cover version of one of
Alex’s tracks though, DIIV’s Zachary Cole Smith has delved a little further
into his back catalogue.
Zachary’s cover of ‘Icehead,’ taken from Alex’s 2014 LP
‘DSU,’ is the first music from him since last year’s DIIV album ‘Is The Is
Are.’ It’s a pretty captivating take on the track, filled with fragile vocals
and harmonies and little more than a single, melancholic guitar line.
It’s made all the more haunting by the accompanying DIY
video, which shakily looks around an apartment, checking out teddies, the décor
and the cat (with its demonic glowing eyes) in a shaky yet contemplative
manner, taking in all the surroundings.
Listen to Zachary cover ‘Icehead’ below.
