Methyl Ethel have gone from strength to strength since unveiling their debut album, Oh Inhuman Spectacle, last year, recently signing with the prestigious 4AD roster and announcing a national tour.
Somehow, in the middle of all this madness, they found the time to hit up the triple j studios to perform a sterling rendition of their track ‘Twilight Driving’ and a cover of Justin Timberlake for Like A Version.
The trio offered their take on JT’s 2002 hit ‘Cry Me a River’ from his solo debut, Justified. The band replaced Timbaland’s pop-tastic production with shimmering guitars, warbling bass, and understated percussion.
As we’ve previously mentioned, this year’s Like A Version series has gotten off to an interesting start – we’ve seen a heart-wrenching David Bowie cover, an ambitious mash-up from this year’s Hottest 100 winners, a revamp of a Hottest 100 favourite, and what was maybe the most un-triple j Like A Version ever.
