Beck + Devendra + MGMT = Master Song

 

Somewhere in Brooklyn, thousands of hipster’s heads exploded at the sound of the “way-too-cool-unless-you-dont-get-it-then-youre-the-one-thats-lame” song by Beck, Devendra Banhart and MGMT. A colaboration that is nothing short of friggin’ strange. I’ll be honest, I haven’t quite solidified my opinion on the song yet, but judging by my past experiences with the music of these artists individually, I’m willing to listen to the weirdness at least ten more times before I inevitably confirm my suspicion that I kinda don’t like it.

Your results may vary.

For reference, here is the original version of the song by Leonard Cohen

Bonus: Beck, Devendra and MGMT cover of Cohen’s Sisters of Mercy
