‘Like A Version’ is a segment on Australian radio station Triple J. Every week a musician or band performs one of their own tunes and a cover of a song they love. The latter often ends up being a stunning and quite different take on a well-known song. This is a great example.

In March this year, Canberra natives Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles (a.k.a. Peking Duk) were invited back into the studio. They did their own song Spend It, originally featuring Circa Waves, with guest vocals from upcoming Aussie singer Dean Brady. However, the session will forever be reminded for their stunning version of Crowded House’s Fall At Your Feet. Who would’ve thought this beautiful track could be transformed into a sure-fire floor-filler? That’s exactly what Peking Duk did, with help from Julia Stone (of Big Jet Plane fame) and Dean Brady.

True to their party-vibe style, the dynamic duo and their well-chosen guests  delivered an anthemic and rousing cover of the 1991 classic. Adding bright synths, a booming beat and energy-drenched group vocals in the chorus, they created a classic of their own. Eight months after the recording session, this version is now released as a single by popular demand.

Peking Duk & Julia Stone’s interpretation of Fall At Your Feet is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
