Song(s) of the Day: June 09, 2016 - Indiekör: Coastal Sound Youth Choir covering Stars, Dan Mangan, and The New Pornographers
For the fifth (and final!) year, the Coastal Sound Youth Choir will be running their Indiekör show. First, tonight in Victoria at Oak Bay United Church and then this Saturday at The Vogue Theatre.
What is Indiekör? With a choir of 65 singers, aged 14-22, and backed by The Salteens, Indiekör is "an innovative cross-pollination of classical choral music and indie rock. This year’s show will feature music by: The Zolas, Vampire Weekend, The Shins, Grimes, Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, Arcade Fire and more!"
For more about the project, you can check out the video above. Or to hear a few examples from last year, check out the videos below with covers of "Letter From An Occupant" by The New Pornographers, Dan Mangan's "Robots", and one of my all time favourite songs, "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" by Stars.
