[Listen] Sleigh Bells' Alexis Krauss & Deerhunter Cover Pylon

Take a listen to some covers from Deerhunter and Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells on this glorious Thursday. Why so glorious? Because tomorrow is Friday and that's always a good thing. The covers that have been tackled here are Georgia underground legends Pylon’s "Cool" which Deerhunter nail and then not just that but a Calvanist remix of the Pylon track "Yo Yo". The show stealer for me though is the vocals which have been laid down by Alexis Krauss from Sleigh Bells.  The "Yo-Yo (Calvinist Remix)” will be available as the B-Side to a limited-edition 7″ vinyl. The A-Side in question will be the aforementioned Deerhunter cover of the 1980 track "Cool". As well as that in the player below you can check out the "Yo Yo" (The Calvinist Unsaved Remix) which must be a leftover track or possibly one for a digital release. Whatever, they're cool and you should give them a listen below.
