Neneh Cherry & The Thing – “Accordion” (Video)

A few weeks ago we shared a track from Neneh Cherry‘s new project with jazz ensemble The Thing called, The Cherry Thing, with the cover of Suicide‘s “Dream, Baby Dream.” Now with the unleashing of their second single, a cover of Madlib and MF Doom‘s “Accordion,” is quite incredible. You hear extremely subtle elements of the original but The Thing‘s use of brass instruments turns this track into the blues. The video, directed by Ted Says, states that his treatment was, “to create an atmosphere that would sit well with the unpredictable music of The Thing, but also be playful yet creepy.” And yes, it most definitely is creepy – in a dark setting outside in the woods, laser lighting to alter vision, as Neneh spits MF Doom in song. “Accordion” strikes a cord. Check it out!
