Sacred Animal x Twin Shadow.

January 23, 2011, 1 comments

Some of you might already be familiar with Sacred Animals aka the Darragh Nolan (whom we posted back in August last year), but if not, it’s about time you dedicate some of your precious time to give the wondrous tunes of this Ireland based indie folk genius a proper listen. This time, Darragh puts his mind and soul into this sweet-scented cover of Twin Shadow’s Castles In The Snow, which is probably one of the better covers I’ve heard in a while. Darragh’s take is a lot more cold and downbeat, but in a way also more soulful than the original, guiding our ears through icy vibraphone tunes in the otherwise snow shaped soundscape. We at NFOP can’t wait for a (hopefully) upcoming full-lenght, but until then, don’t forget can still purchase or stream the lovely 2010 EP Welcome Home over at his bandcamp here.
