New Zealand popsmith Kimbra has turned Mew's "Making Friends" inside out with a remix/cover.
This new edit of the experimental Danes' track sees it stripped back with a bulkier beat and jittery fragments of guitar - for the most part Kimbra does away with the lush textures, opting for simplicity and silky-smooth melodies.
The original track features on Mew's 2015 album +-, which features a collab with Kimbra titled "Night Believer".
