Sunshine dance factory Goldroom covered Elliott Smith’s “St. Ides Heaven” in honor of his upcoming Embrace EP due out September 9th.  I personally love when someone covers a song in a different genre creating something totally different than the original.  It shows a connection to the song you don’t get when the artist simply plays it.  For more insight, in Legg’s words:

Elliott Smith is one of my songwriting idols, simple as that. Sometimes I really feel like the emotional songwriting part of music gets a bit lost within the dance music world, which was a big reason I picked this amazing song to cover. I just wanted to try and do my best to honor such a great musician and one of my favorite songs.

Very cool words from a very cool dude.  The song is up for free download on Goldroom’s Facebook page.
