This week, London three-piece Daughter released their mesmeric debut album, If You Leave . To celebrate, the trio popped in to BBC Radio 1 on Wednesday night to perform a jaw-dropping session excusively for Zane Lowe. It included this: a gorgeous, slow-burning mix up of Bon Iver's 'Perth' and Hot Chip's 'Ready For The Floor'. Although completely contrasting in their original formats, the group transform them into one continous torch song. Utterly, utterly beautiful. Listen and download below.

![DAUGHTER’S BON IVER/HOT CHIP MASH-UP HAS US GUSHING [STREAM]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4845598_lg.jpg)
Ready your ears for Daughter's new, potent mash-up of Bon Iver's "Perth" and Hot Chip's "Ready for the Floor"! The band's already placid sound melds beautifully with the subtle brilliance of the Bon Iver track, while they manage to slow down and weave in Hot Chip's dance jam, creating a wondrously striking mash-up that'll have you gushing. For those of us not living in the UK, where Daughter's debut was released this week, this should help whet our appetites and hold us over until April [...]

Recently the London folk rock trio Daughter stopped by BBC Radio 1 and recorded a stunningly tender "mashup" of Bon Iver's "Perth" and Hot Chip's "Ready For The Floor". Front woman Elena Tonra blends the two seemingly un-blendable tracks, nursing them into one soothing, blissful cover that almost sounds like an entirely new song. Listen to it below. The CoSigned outfit will release their debut album, If You Leave , on April 30th in the U.S. via Glassnote and March 30th everywhere else via 4AD.
La BBC siempre nos trae gratas sorpresas; en esta ocasión, la vocalista de Daughter es quien apareció para interpretar un par de covers a Bon Iver y Hot Chip , reinterpretando "Perth" y "Ready for the Floor" respectivamente. Miren estos covers de Elena Tonra a continuación.

El combustible de bronca que representan las redes sociales y los ejemplos paupérrimos sponsoreados por grandes marcas fueron motivo suficiente para que en cada evento de la marca de gaseosa, cerveza o telefonía nos preguntemos: ¿qué tan difícil es hacer una celebración musical con shows internacionales y locales? La excusa de esta nota es analizar el Pepsi Music, estúpidamente apodado "El Festival Más Grande De La Historia”, próximo a suceder los días 2 y 3 de abril en Costanera Sur y con Pearl Jam y The Black Keys como platos fuertes y un coletazo de bandas de afuera que pasan [...]

Hot Chip - "Let Me Be Him" . That feeling where you want to slip in one more song before bedtime. I wonder if it's the same way with figure-skaters, painters, accountants: one more triple-axel, one more canvas, one more Excel worksheet. Counting whitecapped bluesky mountaintops with "OH OH OH OH OH OH". Field recordings of laughing children are like a music-making cheat-code. Up up left left whistling schoolyard cheer. Makes everything feel faded and yesterday, full of promise. I could dance all [...]
While my fellow bloggers and all-around music loving nerds are spending spring break in good 'ol Austin, Texas for South By Southwest this week, some of us left behind in the cold, slushy weather are likely seething with jealousy. To warm us over and giving us something to look forward to, the good people at Osheaga released (after a [...]

"And I Was A Boy From School" by ON AN ON (Hot Chip Cover). The band performed this version while in Portland, OR for a KZME FM Sessions from the Box session. I'll keep saying it, go get this bands' album Give In . You will not be disappointed.

Arnaud Potier As It's been kind of funny to see the incredulity that has that has met the announcement of Phoenix as a top-billed act as the Summer's festival lineups are rolled out in the US and Europe, with people scoffing "since when are Phoenix festival headliners?". The answer, of course, being "since they began headlining festivals" - which is to say this year, following the massive success of 20092s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and in anticipation of the April 23 release of Bankrupt! . [...]
When ON AN ON formed out of the ashes of Scattered Trees, they "cast off the gloom" of the former outfit. Their debut under the new moniker, Give In , saw the trio carrying a lighter tone throughout. At the same time, they upped the shimmer on the synths and wrapped it all in a dreamy layer of gauze. During a recent stop at Portland, OR's KZME FM for the station's Sessions from the Box series, ON AN ON channeled both periods of their musical career for a cover of Hot [...]
