GROUPLOVE slow it down with cover of Cage The Elephant's "Spiderhead"

California-based indie-pop band GROUPLOVE recently covered Cage The Elephant’s song “Spiderhead” for the show Like A Version on Australian radio station Triple J. The original song is the first track on Melophobia, Cage The Elephant’s latest album.

GROUPLOVE’s rendition of the rock song is near-acoustic with just an acoustic guitar, crooning vocals, light drumming and a soft electric guitar touch to fill out the sound.

Cage The Elephant’s version is an almost direct contrast with GROUPLOVE’s, boasting hectic guitar, thick, fuzzy vocals and a beat to get you up and dancing. GROUPLOVE concentrate more on the despondent lyrics, slowing down an originally electrifying song.

GROUPLOVE are currently on tour in Europe and will be hitting the United States on March 20.
