DWNTWN covers Calvin Harris

March 20, 2012 0 Comments

DWNTWN has done it again.

Following up January’s excellent cover of Angus & Julia Stone’s “Big Jet Plane,” the L.A. electropop duo have taken on Calvin Harris’ “Feel So Close” with similarly fantastic results.

Recorded just before Jamie Leffler and Robert Cepeda took off for a series of shows at SXSW, DWNTWN’s cover of “Feel So Close” is that rare beast that bests the original. Of course, I may be in the minority in that assessment, as Harris continues to climb the Billboard Hot 100 (the single currently sits at #22 on this week’s chart), but I bet I’m not alone.

While Leffler and Cepeda are aces when it comes to covers, DWNTWN’s own original tunes are worth discovering too. Check out their SoundCloud and YouTube pages for more, including their latest, “Believe Me (The Premix).”
