Yat-Kha are a band from the Siberian republic of Tuva who practice the Tuvan style of throat singing. They now have
an album of covers of Western pop songs, including
Led Zeppelin,
Kraftwerk,
Hank Williams,
Bob Marley and
Motörhead. The cover of
Joy Division's
Love Will Tear Us Apart, available for downloading from the page, is the greatest thing since those Portuguese-language David Bowie covers in
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.
They are also touring the UK in September and October.
the nightmares that cover is going to cause me are going to be exciting.
