For the first of three 7″ singles from 151a, Kishi Bashi recorded a beautiful orchestral cover of Beirut’s “A Sunday Smile”. The cover serves as the B-Side for the album single “Manchester”.
“The orchestral quartet rendition of Beirut’s amazing song was arranged by Kishi Bashi, and appears exclusively on this 7” release. The recording is not available digitally, aside from the download code which accompanies the vinyl. The vinyl itself features a unique Purple & Orange colored splatter design.
Each of the three 7″s in this series features a different orchestral cover song on Side B, a different vinyl color, and corresponding cover art which forms triptych when all three are placed side by side.” [via Joyful Noise Recordings]
I’m obsessed with this track right now. It comes to us from Brooklyn crooner Autre Ne Veut, whose forthcoming LP Anxiety will be released later this month (Feb. 26 via Software/Mexican Summer). While we wait, enjoy “Play by Play” — the perfect combination of R&B and new wave synths.
