17 A Cappella Covers Of Indie Rock Songs
Bands like Vampire Weekend, Modest Mouse, Passion Pit, and Grizzly Bear are great and all, but what if their music was eight million times more earnest? And, like, had beat boxing?
4. Animal Collective’s “Leaf House” by Momo and the Coop
This one is a bold choice, but stick around for when the part where they all get weird and start saying “kitties! kitties!” because it is pure gold.
5. Death Cab for Cutie’s “I Will Follow You Into the Dark” by the University of Richmond’s Choeur du Roi
6. Vampire Weekend’s “Mansard Roof,” “Oxford Comma,” “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,” and “I Think Ur A Contra” by Columbia University’s Nonsequitur
Columbia happens to be the alma matter of all four members of Vampire Weekend.
8. Florence and the Machine’s “Spectrum” by Intentional Accidentals
The bit where they throw in a little bit of Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” is very inspired, in a very Pitch Perfect sort of way.
10. Fleet Foxes’ “White Winter Hymnal” by McGill University’s Effusion
Fleet Foxes was basically a gift from above to a cappella groups everywhere.
15. The Postal Service’s “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight” by Illinois Tech’s TechTonics
