Vallis Alps cover The Shins 'New Slang' for Like A Version

[@nahinkle29]

This is so good! Struck the balance between respecting the original while also making something new. Everyone was great, the lead voice was out of this world

[@jesusgalvan9453]

Her voice is unbelievable.

[@seanharvatine6418]

"This song will change your life, I swear"

[@ccramit]

I loved that movie in 2005. Watching it now in 2021 and it's kind of cringe. Though, to be fair, everything about 20 year old emo me back in 2005 is kind of cringe.

[@DannyCosmos]

@@ccramit same . the movie is a moment in time. but i still recommend it to all the 20 somethings cause i bet they will love it.

[@sther1349]

YES! Yes! YES!

[@scottashby880]

now i wanna watch Garden State

[@7teenagesmokers309]

scott ashby it came on tv the night before last, it was the scene where they're sitting in the bathtub. I didn't feel like catching it then. So hopefully it comes back on. Haha.

[@scottashby880]

i just torrented it myself

[@marcusstobbs1250]

Zach Braff is my boiiii

[@saybackp4ck]

itll change your life, I swear

[@smoko4324]

i didnt really like the movie but great soundtrack

[@MD-xi5vd]

00:53 THAT BEAT DROP MADE ME SHART IN THE BEST OF WAYS

[@onfyarforever]

I'm crying. this is too beautiful.

[@bojack3827]

Such a great version of this song! Love the funky soundtrack mixed with the purity of her voice.

[@winter1663]

kind of risky to cover such a wide loved song but they did it with such grace. (excuse me while I play this song on repeat forever)

[@acea2477]

Yeaaa! Didn't kill it, made it their own. Nicely done! Bit of nostalgia for your Friday

[@flea41]

the beauty is the simplicity. Bravo.

[@JKerr97]

Didn't knew the original Song, but was really into this Version. So I am listening to it on spotify since a few months. A few seconds ago, I heard the Original on Scrubs. (Yes, still a good Show!) And I knew every Lyric from it, surprised, because I never listened to it. Vallis Alps! You made an own Version of it! Thank you for that!

[@eloquentcontraband]

this popped up on my daily mix and it's such a delightful rework of a classic. like if new slang is a song that encapsulates early 2000s indie pop, vallis alps brings the same feeling of frustration but applies their own sound to it and it's just lovely. 😙👌

[@aidensnacklad4178]

one of my favourite songs

[@_powerrranger]

its one of indie's holiest of holies, but imo they did it justice

[@Davidonspecialk1]

Her tone and texture is so sweet, deep and rich, but light and fluffy too. Gonna look up her other stuff

[@Iridescent_Peasant]

Dope! The Shins are one of my all time faves. This didn't disappoint! (:

[@davidmatthews2983]

I love this song, but I love this version still. I always play this, but smashed it heaps in Darwin when I was working there. Once played it with one of the backpackers peddling the tricycles up Mitchell street. A great chapter of my life bookmarked by a song.

[@gutterziswin]

Like a Versions have been tops this year!

[@alexbishop2535]

They've mostly been terrible this year

[@tomthefish6652]

Alex Bishop It's like people forget that music is subjective

[@alexbishop2535]

I know, but aside from this one and horrorshow doing No Aphrodisiac I can't think of any real stand outs

[@gutterziswin]

Paul Dempsey's cover of Edge of town and Polish Clubs cover of Never be Like You really stood out for me, but hey that's just me.

[@retro_gaming_space1]

Woof! This is so emotional! I love you guys! Keep rocking! Cheers from Mexico.

[@WARHEADFRED]

Woah. Brilliant touch.

[@jordanhay5352]

Jeez, I heard this a couple of times on Triple J, and I've had to come here and slam it on repeat. This is beautiful, right ?

[@mrjohn2456]

Ahhhh my favourite like a version of all time. This song needs the air time on jjj it deserves..

[@endwido]

Beautiful voice wow

[@nickmendens76]

Just beautiful!

[@ne1477]

Gorgeous cover!

[@angelvillena6661]

heavenly production & vocals, as always!

[@stephenlouey3759]

Mercer would approve! What a great cover. Changed it but still the shins too. Loved it

[@subXact]

wow, the most beautiful thing i've heard for a long long time!

[@artseosamhogriobhta]

Absolutely perfect! The perfect cover!!

[@JacobCorderoplus1]

This is absolutely amazing , excellent job!

[@bwise4619]

Wonderful. Thanks

[@12samdude]

absolute tune

[@krs3612]

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find.

[@chestercheeto9768]

true

[@TheStabbyCyclist]

I feel you man. Sometimes it feels like a Sisyphean task to achieve the life you desire. But we only get one chance to play this crazy game so you may as well give it your best shot.

[@hitsmexdz4296]

Chester Cheeto Mr cheetah is that you.. From csgo

[@sweeteragain]

SO GOOODD WHATTTTTTT

[@outsidercain3038]

1:21 That's an OP-1 synth. That thing is amazing. A bit rough for live act, but very powerful.

[@pankaj1997]

Garden state is love... ❤❤

[@STINKOPOOP]

can the drum brain that guy is playing send out a midi clock signal? cuz he isnt playing anything on the keyboard at 1:40 and he is pre-sequencing the analog stab build up. I never do live stuff so im just curious.

[@BreakingB46]

Great cover.

[@ryanharvey254]

fantastic

[@pintschi]

breaks my heart that you guys will be in Hamburg while I won't!!!

[@streetlevelaudio4388]

Next level

[@essextwo]

Her voice is very calming.

[@evetoombs]

This was pretty good. Really good production and she has a really lovely voice. This is nothing like the original at all and I think it misses some of the subtleties that made it so well loved, but I commend any artist going out and making a song their own.

[@cbrudder84]

Sound engineer made this an absolutely stupidly good song. Triple J truly does optimize their recordings. Unreal.

[@sterbus79]

At 1:05 and 1:53 you're playing an extra bar that is not on the original, but I reckon that the original song and structure is really tricky to do exactly! However, lovely arrangement and great choice of sounds to use!

[@NoBrakes23]

I was fully prepared to not like this. I'm glad that I was very wrong. Good stuff.

[@aibongwemabusanyathi6792]

So was I... This is an awesome cover...

[@TheSidekid92]

Same man, I was ready to hate, but she danced like the king of the aseeholes, This might be my favorite version

[@NATHANTHEPIMP]

Me to

[@mariogomez3262]

I was too but then I remembered its such a perfectly constructed song with an incredible melody that its kind of hard to mess it up as long as you can play your instruments and sing in key.

[@jasongonet9850]

Same here!

[@jwin9558]

Fascinating

[@om5175]

super cool

[@jdsmith9]

WOW WHAT A COVER 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@josh.e7702]

Shes beautiful...

[@BTKYG]

I love her voice

[@ArborParva]

yeah this is what I subscribed for, awesome cover

[@mariamariaa]

Amazing

[@scottthompson5518]

I work in a Tesla showroom and this song is part of the current playlist rotation for the showroom background music!

[@AudreyAudio]

I am enamored

[@bruh9578]

villis concert in the sydney was soooooo good

[@mayakerslake5459]

think i'm in love with her???

[@whalienabi]

Who isn't?

[@fadlirafiq]

great cover✌🏼

[@yechanjung8849]

CHILLS

[@darrenkaydenfathersonaccou996]

one of my fave tracks from the shins, and this is just fucking savage as fuck yeeeeehaaaaaawww

[@patientzero5685]

“Dirt in your fries” always gets me cuz this was in a McD commercial in early 2000’s

[@c_jo]

Thank you!

[@lordbirom]

hermosa voz!!!

[@kennygeography]

Is that Mumford and Sons "The Cave" mixed in there? Great cover and promising group!

[@DamnX-p]

For me : Gold teeth and a curse for this town Were all in my mouth Only I don't know how they got out, dear Turn me back into the pet I was when we met I was happier then with no mindset And if you took to me like a Gull takes to the wind Well, I'd've jumped from my trees And I'd've danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would've fared well New slang when you notice the stripes The dirt in your fries Hope it's right when you die, old and bony Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall Never should have called But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely And if you took to me like a Gull takes to the wind Well, I'd've jumped from my trees And I'd've danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would've fared well Godspeed, all the bakers at dawn May they all cut their thumbs And bleed into their buns 'til they melt away I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find Without a trust, a flaming field Am I too dumb to refine? And if you took to me like Well, I'd've danced like the queen of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would've fared well

[@danpug89]

In a world of cliches, this is truly amazing.

[@Louigi11gochelsea]

vocals so goood

[@amessenger3208]

nice work :)

[@strangerclub5247]

see you in jakarta next month :)

[@anthonygeraci7391]

I will say I really do like this cover but that note at 2:34 always gets me

[@BackfallGenius]

oh my goodness it's so good. I need a purely vocal cut of this, there's a few too many electronic instruments and synths happening here.

[@borhanzadeh1699]

Lol, her brother DJ'd at my wedding!!

[@ryanho7033]

A cover of Simple Song please????

[@fatsamurai869]

I try not to be one of those people that "CLICKED THIS SO FAST OH MY GOD" but I clicked this so fast oh my god

[@quandox8976]

Pnyo

[@patrickadams8629]

Fucking lit 🔥

[@future_phonk]

Wow

[@StormManga]

cool

[@RemoteAbductionArm]

I'm unsure about the arrangement/instrument choice, but the singer is fantastic!

[@MrLulong01]

❤️

[@hieronymusbaello5438]

nice

[@IknowIamkindagreat]

wow

[@me6751]

Best part 4:26

[@Lacrox360]

Its actually sacrilegious that Dune Rats haven't been on Like A Version yet. C'mon Triple J

[@ValdoxGaming]

Ok check this out, first of all you're throwing too many big words at me. Okay now because I don't understand them I'm gonna take them as disrespect. Watch your mouth and help me with the meaning.

[@Lacrox360]

Valdox all I'm saying broski is that I wanna see some dunnies ripping up a chune on the JJJ

[@masontidwell]

Yeah and some skeggs too

[@NateTheGreat-n5f]

Sounds great at 0.75x speed. Normal tempo isnt right for me

[@smoko4324]

the intro threw me off aint gonna lie

[@Johnny12Hats]

didnt relise they were australian

[@thomme8539]

Canberra :D

[@SonoftheMustardTiger]

I still have no idea what the "backers bleed into their buns" thing means.

[@Heybigsambo]

🙂🙂🙂👌🏼

[@growwithso]

Really missed out on the baseline, just saying

[@mythmurzin]

singer is awesome, the different mechanicals producing the music seem disjointed in their power creating parts that are quieter than the others so get easily drowned out. its kinda disappointing as I think it would have been much better if there was a better balance in the different "instrumentals"

[@benbruzindine226]

Sounds pitchy. Perhaps it's just all the synth musical accompaniment distracting my ears.

[@bestpix100]

Ethereal

[@nhp9.405]

kinda weird mix and sound layout

[@atharvachoudhary6974]

I appreciate the music, it's just not for me. The original unplugged feel reinforces the lyrics and the mood. No hate for this cover tho, the musicians have poured their heart and used the channels they know of to express their gratitude to the song.

[@johndou423]

this reminds me of idioteque

[@johndou423]

a little bit of boards of canada in general as well

[@TheMothernerd]

Ick

[@sketcheadiscoming]

Nah I’m cool

[@LobotomyMeat]

Not a fan, but to each their own.

[@rymcmanus]

The electronic drums are overdone here. But otherwise good.

[@onestpaslesroisla]

That’s pretty bad actually, not my type of cover. The original is so much better !
