Meklit Hadero & Quinn DeVeaux’s bluesy take on Arcade Fire’s “Neighborhood #1″

RCRD LBL introduces us to this new cover of one of Arcade Fire‘s greatest tunes:

…we’re gifting this revise of Arcade Fire’s “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)” by Cali duo Meklit Hadero & Quinn DeVeaux in which jazz, folk and Ethiopian tones drop into Chicago blues and New Orleans gospel. Imagine if the original was marooned at an island fish fry during happy hour and you’d be close. More renditions abound, including those of Patti Smith, Neil Young, Lou Reed and MGMT on Meklit Hadero & Quinn DeVeaux’s debut, available for pre-order over on Amazon.
