London-based hard rockers Superfecta return with a revamped edition of an old favourite from the quartet's previous release Disconnect. The band have decided to re-record an acoustic cover of Mannequin ( Electric Version) ( Click here to listen to the original) in commemoration of the lockdown, self-imposed due to COVID- 19 restrictions.
The track is a more stripped-back, darker account with the added violins by Miranda Gray Aragaon and engineered by Francisca Curle. The highly charged opening riff is replaced by a more sombre folk-infused guitar passage inspired to feel like the player is taking a long, lonesome road. Negrini's vocal timbre still remains soft, as he stretches his voice over the percussive beats. The vocals sound stark and hollow throughout, as subtle tones of violins play in the background. Aragoan takes centre stage with an instrumental in the middle section to accompany the mid-tempo rhythm throughout.
I feel this is a touching tribute to those feeling lost and unattached during this period. Superfecta are expected to announce a follow-up EP during the summer.
