[Music Video] London Grammar- "Nightcall"



Possibly my favourite song from London Grammar's début album, If You Wait, has been given the video treatment. Hooray for Nightcall!

The original Nightcall was record by Kavinsky and was a synth-pop extravaganza that notably featured a distorted, robotic main vocal. With a voice like Hannah Reid's it was no surprise London Grammar chose to forgo this effect on their cover. They also "naturalised" the production somewhat, substituting most of the electronica for live instrumentation. The result is a melancholy and brooding ballad that fits perfectly within the trio's catalouge.

Take a listen to it, and the original, below!
