Yes, It’s almost Valentine’s Day. In that spirit, we’ve given Mobius Band plenty of love and they’ve finally returned the favor, the teases. We knew the Brooklyn/Massachusetts-trio could turn a cover the moment they tackled Radiohead for OKX. Now, taking a page from Kanye’s book, the lads are covering Daft Punk. Their decidedly less robotic take on “Digital Love” is part of their Love Will Reign Supreme EP, which you’ll be able to download tomorrow for free at the band’s site. For now, the six-song tracklist and album art, plus “Digital Love” and tour dates after the jump. As far as that photo, looks like “Digital Love” of some sort, but let’s hope you spend your V-Day more excitingly than a little liquor in front of the tele.

02 “Baby We’ll Be Fine” (The National)
03 “True Love Will Find You In The End” (Daniel Johnston)

  1. coincidence alert: i’m dropping a valentine’s day EP tomorrow, too, and it also has “true love will find you in the end” on it. ha. and we all know what happens when two bands have the same idea and one’s a little more famous.

    This cover REALLY sucks. Especially compared to the original which is so fucking perfect and beautiful.

  3. John  |   Posted on Feb 13th, 2008

    That fourth chord is WRONG! It ruins the melody completely. What a great idea totally destroyed!

  4. They probably should have tried harder.

  5. Pablo  |   Posted on Feb 13th, 2008

    Well, I like it. So there.
