Nah, that's Subtle.
Sorry, I'm afraid I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. The singer is Dose One from (slightly embarassingly named) alternative hip hop collective Anticon. He's been involved in a lot of inventive and original projects in his time, the best IMO being cLOUDEAD, and Dose One and Boom Bip.
Yep, he does sound a bit like a cartoon character, which I imagine probably irritates a hell of a lot of people. That's just his style, and oddly, isn't that far removed from his real voice. I don't mind it, kinda reminds me of Max from the ol' Sam and Max cartoon which I used to love.
The few times I've met some of them, the collective are really cool guys who listen to and are open to a lot of different stuff. I think they were just trying to do a tribute and made a bad decision here, I mean, what's the point of doing a cover unless you can add something to the original? Doing a shellac cover.. it's like, who could do a Slint cover and not get dragged across the coals for it?
