The Lumineers currently have America swooning with “Ho Hey,” aka “The Indie-Folk Sing-Along That Refuses to Die.” But they’ve just earned some major cool points for their reinterpretation of Talking Heads’ 1983 classic “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody),” which strips the quirky, funky love song down to a simple strumming pattern, a raw lead vocal, and barely-there strings.
The cover will appear on the upcoming deluxe edition of The Lumineers’ self-titled debut, out tomorrow.
