Avec Sans




I'm a sucker for a good cover.  You take a familiar beat-laden track and you strip it back playing it acoustically, playing it well that is, and you've got my attention.  Oddly what we have here is quite the opposite.  You take music royalty, in this case Kate Bush, and her best known track Running Up That Hill, and record it with enough reverence for the original that you are left with an updated, more relevant version of an absolute classic.  That is what Avec Sans have done with their cover of the track - who knew such a thing could actually happen.

Avec Sans aren't new to the music scene and have produced a number of dance friendly pop songs of their own over the past few years, all of which are worthy of a listen.  That is if you can stop repeating their version of Running Up That Hill.  

Hot Track(s): Running Up That Hill, All of Time

Kind of Like: The girl that wasn't allowed to be a member of Girls Aloud made music anyway, with boys.


PREDICTION:

Their cover of Ms. Bush is getting them the attention they have long deserved.  They will certainly find one of their own radio friendly numbers in the UK Top 20 - they are London based after all, in a year's time.
