Now this is what triple j Like A Version is all about. We really hope you tuned in to Like A Version this morning because if you didn’t, you missed out on a cover that was fun, bouncy, inventive, and paid homage to two of Australia’s best artists of right now.
To celebrate Ausmusic Month, triple j have been delighting us all this month with a string of Like A Version covers from Australian artists covering their fellow homegrown artists. We’ve already witnessed The Jezabels laying down a haunting cover of Sticky Fingers and last week Amy Shark reminded us of why Silverchair are one of the greatest Aussie bands ever to do it.
This morning, Elk Road hit the triple j studios and laid down a cover of ‘Crave You’ by Flight Facilities, although it wasn’t your straight-up faithful ode to the smouldering summer anthem. He got a little help from the one and only Lisa Mitchell and mixed the whole thing up with a sample from Tame Impala’s ‘The Less I Know The Better’. The result is absolutely electric.
Not too long ago we ran through a few of our favourite Like A Version covers of the year so far, including Sarah Blasko’s incredible David Bowie cover, Guy Sebastian linking up with Paces, and Hey Geronimo mashing up Courtney Barnett and Regurgitator.
Check out our list of 10 triple j Like A Version covers that deserve to be remembered!
