Swedish/Australian twins Say Lou Lou have tackled the Bee Gees dangerously brilliant "Stayin' Alive" for a new stop-gap single.
Somehow lush and lo-fi, Say Lou Lou's throbbing synth-disco rendition sees breathy vox mingle with flickering guitars and sensational bass. It's just as addictive and magnetic as the seminal original, with a dark new enegy and ragged edges. It's always dangerous covering a classic, but Say Lou Lou make this their own.
The duo are currently working on LP2, due to be released in 2017. They've been working with Dan Nigro (JR JR, A-Trak) and Jesse Shatkin (Sia, Paloma Faith).
