Blood Orange, “LightHouse” (NewVillager Cover) MP3

July 26, 2011


Blood Orange’s take on NewVillager's "Lighthouse" proves the old saying that sometimes less is more. Blood Orange's version maintains a ghost of the art collective's highly-orchestrated original, gilding it with a wailing guitar solo and full out ecstatic jam at the end. Check out the Matthew Barney-esque video for NewVillager's original below, and also read/listen Dollars to Pounds’ excellent interview and mixtape from Blood Orange frontman, Dev Hynes.
