Watch Franz Ferdinand Cover Grimes’ ‘Oblivion’
Kapranos and his acoustic guitar take on Claire Boucher’s breakthrough single.
have bravely tackled the song with a gazillion covers already to its name: Grimes’ ‘Oblivion’.
Naturally, Alex Kapranos and co’s take is a good distance away from the punk punch that’s landed on their new album ‘Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action’. An acoustic hum helps provide a laid-back take on the track that first appeared on Grimes’ 2012 album, ‘Visions’.
The band performed the cover for French radio station Oui FM.
