Digging For Covers: The Soft Pack dig Phoenix

A lot of places have been labeling The Soft Pack's take on Phoenix's "Fences" as a remix. Say it ain't so— that track is a cover song. The band puts its minimalist clean-driving punk rock spin on their French friends' electro-pop stylings, and it's all done with new instrumentation and vocals. There's no overdubbed drums, crazy added beats or synthesizers. It's just an old-fashioned rearrangement—no computer necessary. Dig it.
