A Static Lullaby Cover Frou Frou
Time to wrap up Stereogum's Cover Me Badd™ Extravaganza with a shout out to the indie yuppie set. Remember Garden State? Remember how Imogen Heap's vocodered voice helped set that inoffensively-alternative soundscape for Zach to woo Natalie and fight through his medicated haze of upper-middle class numbness? Aww. Well, Braff Rock -- meet post-hardcore. Cali's A Static Lullaby play it just like Imogen -- for all of about thirty seconds.
A Static Lullaby - "Let Go" (MP3)
Hope you didn't spill your latte. You like? Or what up the fuck?!

Just as lame.

for more bad covers go on youtube and type panic at the disco followed by eleanor rigby than killer queen.
I'll be the first to post it,but do a static lullaby hate melody?

Actually, I'm loving this.

Yea I used to love this band, I don't give a shit. There's a lot more than just indie and ironic 80's or west coast hip hop.

Can we get Fred Durst and K-Fed to do a cover of this cover?
Score = 0
Only if pete wentz plays bass, since a duo that lack talent but not an ego isn't as good as a trio.

i hate this band, but i can dig this cover (except the screaming verse near the end which is absolutely awful)

There is no Imogen Heap song using a vocoder on the Garden State soundtrack.

I like it when he falsettos. More of that would be welcome, although he would get beat up at Ozzfest no doubt.

Dude, Imogen Heap was the lead singer for Frou Frou. Get it together, J.
Score = 0
Dude - i'm aware of that. She went to my school.
But she doesn't use a vocoder, that is the point I was making.
(and for the record - Frou Frou are a thousand times better than her solo stuff)
Score = 0
..and when I say 'She doesn't use a vocoder.'
I mean on the Garden State soundtrack, obviously she does on other songs.
Score = 0
come on, this cover isn't THAT bad. if you like screamo, A Static Lullaby is where it's at. If you don't, then you probably hate this shit. All in all though, its really a pretty dope cover if you're into that style of music.

hey this cover is beautiful. i saw A Static Lullaby for my second time about two weeks ago in Colombus and i met Joe Brown, woo!
i love their style, their sound.
so maybe you "hardcore" kids might think it sounds pussified or something, but in reality, no one cares.
you like it or you don't; why take the time to post something about a band you don't like?

I used to love A Static Lullaby, and I still think they're pretty cool. Bit of a surprise though, I mean ASL covering Frou Frou?? Anyway, it's still a good cover.

ASL did an awesome job with this.
i loved the original to begin with, and i still do. perhaps one of the best punk covers i've heard, besides "Phantom of the Opera".

WELL FUCK ALL OF U HATERS
A STATIC LULLABY IS AWESOME
and the point of a cover is to take the song and make it ur own
ASL did that with AMAZING SKILL
and i'm pretty sure that no one that left a comment is even in a band or tryin to do anything with there life because they are too busy downing great bands
I'M A ASL FAN
AND I ALWAYS WILL BE
