chet faker - (lover) you don't treat me no good no more (sonia dada cover @ triple j / like a version)
to be honest, i think this hit by chicago songwriter sonia dada may have skipped me altogether back in 1992, but the way chet faker covers it is pretty darn sublime! once again the triple j show 'like a version' proves to be a wonderful source of amazing covers!

the hot album track gets a cool animated accompanied video by artist grace lee. calling it a 'banger', chet's latest album 'built in glass' is getting serious buzz and might just break him worldwide. digging this track for sure!

WONGIE INDIE SOUL SONG OF THE WEEK: flume & chet faker - drop the game

flume & chet faker - drop the game
what happens when an aussie producer/dj hooks up with an up and coming aussie vocalist? they love the collaboration so much that they went ahead and recorded a whole EP of tracks showcasing how they compliment each other. "drop the game" is easily the best of the lot, but you should check out the 'lockjaw EP' when you get the chance. oh and flume are definitely on my one to watch for 2014 list!
