Mira Calix with Oliver Coates - In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country (Boards Of Canada cover)

[AaronfromQueens]

I like it a lot, but I wish the tempo was less funereal. It's making me hope that there's a bluegrass cover out there.

[chrondrone]

this is an unbearably remarkable rendition of this song! music to die to. i actually just found out that mira calix was sean booths wife a minute ago, what a trip.

[papersplease]

A magnificent original, covered to a magnificent extent

[jam11049]

when i listen to this i just visualise generations and generations of memory and experience, like a gabriel garcía márquez novel, a long floaty chain, and at one point you have boards, then subtley interlinking the two long arms of calix and coates, they remind boards of who they were, who they are and what more they could be, and the chain grows forever longer, in both directions.

The main difference between this and BoC's masterpiece isn't the quality, both are simply exceptional. What's different is the mood, with BoC I'm content, with images of children playing in a park in a hazy sunny day, with Mira's I feel it's the last memories of an old man in his death bed, reminisces on what once was. It's quite harrowing, and unbearably beautiful, if that makes any sense

[TuffLittleunit]

@brucekinses I *think* the original, whilst beautiful, was driven by a much darker theme. Isn't the whole EP about the Waco/Branch Davidians thing? I seem to recall that the vocal clip is actually a sample of Amo Roden or something. Then again I may have it all hopelessly wrong and it is about lemonade and sunshine :)

[MusicLover2210]

@brucekinses the original was darker!

[Yorkoholic]

@brucekinses just a beautiful description my friend..

I saw this the other day on a warp compilation and wondered what covering BoC would sound like. This is pretty, almost meditational and droney. They have done something different with it, but as a stand alone song it doesn't have the same insistent hypnotic grab that the original does. no percussion creates a radical difference in the feel of the track here.

[lakesentience]

@fetishalchemy no percussion?

Excellent stuff.

I can't stand it, nor do I see the point when people try to match the original as close as possible.

This is something new and interesting. Re-created the name of the compilation, not re-recorded after all.

[lookingmoose]

Good stuff. It doesn't sound much like the original, but I still like it. A lot of hard effort was put into this.

[pozsoz]

[keynestortoise]

This is what covers should be. Simply stunning. I couldn't believe my ears when I listened to this. It's as good as the original. IT IS!

[fjeljep]

@keynestortoise You can say that again bro!

[schmaks]

er, technically, cover, i suppose? Either way, wow.

[schmaks]

best remix of any song ever, props to mira

[matmos123]

genius - thank You Mira

[alexhashoteyes]

I'm not feeling this cover at all. The lyrics were not meant to be reproduced like this, that wasn't the point of the song in my opinion. Maybe I need to listen to it again or something...

[Davicitorra]

Amazing

[inversechi]

Epic cover :)
