Frank Ocean continues to own our soul. Last Thursday, the man played a short set at a press conference for Spotify. And during that set, he broke out a minute-and-a-half cover of Radiohead’s 1995 all-timer “Fake Plastic Trees,” using it to flex that buttery croon over luxuriant synth-pillows. It’s too short, it’s a crappy fan-made video, it’s got chatter and crowd-whoops and general just-OK fidelity, but it’s still something you need to watch. Check it out below.

Ocean’s Channel Orange is, of course, out now on Def Jam.

Keep digging. The down votes are because Wesley is referring to Tom Breihan, not Yorke.

bollocks.
I’m learning English (not a native speaker as you may see) and prefer British version…
I’m pretty sure you were just downvoted by someone British.
how many downvotes can we get copy_paster_cat in 10 minutes!
alas, reddit has warped me.
I believe the downvote you received was from someone who meant to say, “No no, Stereogum commenters NEVER succumb to a mob mentality!”
Here’s hoping this leads to Radiohead doing a cover of “Pyramids”
‘Pyramids’ -> ‘Pyramid Song’ on the next tour??
Not fair. I want this to be a full thing.
RECORD IT, PLEASE.
Kind of reminds me of when Mos Def covered All I Need. Awesome stuff.
This is like my two favourite things combined. Thank you.
