As part of his AV Club set, Kurt Vile opted to cover Nine Inch Nails classic, ‘Down In It’, for their AV Undercover feature.
The appeal, the guitarist tells AV Club, was in its incongruity – doing “the weirdest thing we could do”, as well as trying “the whole white rap thing”.
Accompanied by a diminutive keyboard and an iPod, this isn’t the Kurt Vile we’re used to, but it still manages to sound a little hazier than Trent Reznor’s creepy, chamber-house original.
Watch the session below:
