Perhaps I’m a little late to the party with this one—so if you’ve already heard it keep on scrolling. Two days ago, the BBC released a cover version of New Order’s “Blue Monday” done in a 1930s style. The cover was done in celebration of the March 7, 1983 release of the song. This version of “Blue Monday,” performed by Orkestra Obsolete, used only instruments that were actually available in the 1930s, such as the theremin, musical saw, prepared piano and more. It’s actually a pretty good cover and works great, in my opinion.
