Taken from a forthcoming live EP, Chet Faker’s latest single is a minimalist cover of Burial’s Archangel. Chet slows things down in the song’s first half, delivering a raw, crooning vocal; emphasising the soul in this new soul dub step tune. At the halfway point, the band kicks in with skittering instrumental parts and a simmering rhythm, but their jazz rock flow feels a little hokey. The whole thing pales in comparison to the broken, agitated fever of the original.
