Capital Children’s Choir: Untrust Us
From “Bad Jokes” to a choral take on “Untrust Us,” our look back at the music we tweeted this week
For an electronic synthpop song about cocaine, the Capital Children’s Choir in London performs a stellar cover of the Crystal Castles’ song “Untrust Us” at the famous Abbey Road recording studio. Using just their voices and hands, the children reproduce the looping synth patterns and drum samples—keeping it truly a cappella. The most hauntingly beautiful moments are when two girls emulate, using only their voices, what Crystal Castles singer Alice Glass created by digitally manipulating hers. Be sure to check out their equally awesome cover of “Shake It Out” by Florence and the Machine as well.
