Well, this is an odd one, but timely given that Purity Ring recently announced an upcoming performance in Buffalo. For this week's cover, the duo cover "Grammy" by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em. Meanwhile, did you know that his full stage name is, in fact, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em? I did not.
Anyway, the song features lead singer, Megan James (whose top ten of 2012 for Pitchfork was a list of house plants) matching Soulja Boy's vocals, and doing admirably considering. Not a bad cover and especially given my initial expectations were for the sonic equivalent of this:
THIS IS FANTASTIC.
This sounds like someone trying to sound like Purity Ring and failing, but it's actually Purity Ring trying to sound like Soulja Boy and succeeding. Both are bad.
