One of the most anticipated indie rock releases of this year was Tame Impala’s Currents. The Australian psych-rock band’s third album was preceded by a banger of a single, “Let It Happen,” that was a worldwide hit. But back in their home continent, Aussie metalcore quintet have given the song a rock remake. It’s a pretty faithful cover, but a little more guitar-oriented. It’s a good choice and a hard to cover song, but Northlane acquit themselves nicely, holding back instead of making it metal for the sake of metal and throwing in unnecessary breakdowns. We’ve included the original below so you can compare the two.
