DOKAKA - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (dokaka.com)

[dot_fennel]

If you don't already know Dokaka, listen to this first.

I've been amazed by Dokaka for about a year but as it happens, he's never recreated a song I was already familiar with before. I think I get it now: what takes him from 'talented' to 'great' is his single-minded refusal to change his source recording's arrangement at all. He's also a good interpreter, I suspect, but it's hard to judge that on the same scale as, like, June Tabor dusting off an old trad.

this is profoundly weird.
