Austin collective Mother Falcon tried their hand at covering Radiohead's OK Computer from start to finish. Quite a project and it could have turned into rearranging nightmare. They pulled it off, safe for the vocals in the challenging Exit Music (For A Film) when they came up short reaching the high notes.
Recorded live without a safety-net MF Computer transports the UK Weltschmerz of the original to the Concert Hall. All done with respect for the originals, the collective alternated between full-on symphonic treatments and simple banjo, guitar or piano accompaniment. Performing the songs was an adventure and, from a musician's point of view, it has a happy ending.
MF Computer is a self-released album. Release date: March 18th. Pre-order on iTunes or Bandcamp.
