You know the awkward moment when a cover is better than the original? Well, I found a perfect example of that. The song I talk about is "Pharaohs" by SBTRKT. I'm not gonna be dissing the original, but that particular song never managed to impress me. On the other side, a few weeks ago when I discovered the cover by the British band Shields and I totally fell in love with the song. The indie/pop touches transform the electronic track into a very dynamic and lively tune whilst keeping the melody and flow of the original track.
