Daughter Covers Daft Punk's New Song "Get Lucky," Humans of Earth Question Why This Band Isn't Headlining Festivals Already

Daft Punk recently released the first single, "Get Lucky," from their highly-anticipated new album Random Access Memories. Featuring Pharrell Williams on vocals, it's a rip-romping good time. If you haven't heard it, have a listen. Actually listen even if you have heard it because, let's be real, this song will put you in a great mood:

Yesterday, the UK indie-post-folk-pop band Daughter went to BBC Radio One to record (live, in studio) a cover of that song. If you don't know about Daughter, they're really good. They got some attention with their song "Youth," and are releasing their debut full-length album in the US on Tuesday (it's out in the UK, Europe, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand as of March 19). The first single from that album, "Still," is beautiful, and I'm very excited to hear the rest of this release.

Their Daft Punk cover is surreal. It opens fairly drily, but blooms into a deep and haunting landscape of sound. There's really no way to describe it, you just have to hear it. And remember as you listen that this was recorded live. Unbelievable.

That's really something. Daughter is a band on the verge, and I can't wait to watch them explode over the next few years. Expect to see them occupying important festival slots in the coming seasons.
