Nostalgia 77

The other day I was listening to the radio on the way home and I heard this awesome, soul-jazz cover version of Seven Nation Army. It was by a group called Nostalgia 77 and I liked it so much, I bought the album, The Garden.

The rest of the tracks on the cd are pretty damn good as well. They're experimental jazz/sample based and are the kind of music you want to listen to when you're trying to study or have a hangover.

Quoted from the BBC Collective:

Nostalgia 77's debut full-length offered dark, synapse-tickling sampledelica to match anything by Four Tet or Manitoba. This time, Ben Lamdin has roped in some fellow musicians to help out. Springy double bass, lush clouds of electric piano and a heap of horns pick their way through edgy, psychedelic funkscapes. Most of it is achingly lovely, but while the cover of the White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army might liven up the odd DJ set, it seems out of place here.

I'd definitely recommend a listen. Another link.
