Swedish pop trio Kate Boy have shared their cover of "A Girl Like You" by Edwyn Collins.
The pioneering Orange Juice cog turned his hand to soul in the early '90s, and now Kate Boy have transformed that iconic number into a malevolent beast. It's always had a touch of the sinister about it, but Kate Boy bring that to the forefront, with seething whispers and furious cyclone synths.
The band's debut LP One is out now.
