Slow Leak - Not Broken (Deaf Tonics cover)

Modern trip hop wizards Slow Leak release Not Broken, a cover of the Deaf Tonics' timeless closing ballad from their first album, Octane Red.

Frontwoman Ava Hart calls it a “simmering and brooding homage to the ones who built the fire,” paying tribute to their labelmates and longtime friends, the Deaf Tonics.

Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, Slow Leak keeps this version faithful to the original structure and emotion, but filters it through their signature downtempo haze and Portishead-style melancholy — think trip-hop drums, whispery vocals from Ava Hart, and a late-night pulse.

It sort of turns into dark polka during the solo..lol.

It’s both familiar and fresh — you can tell they approached it with respect rather than nostalgia.
