Vindicatrix has decided to release his own version of one of Michael Jackson's best tracks - Human Nature. But when you hear it, you'd be forgiven for not noticing this was a cover version of anything at all. It sounds like Scott Walker remixed by Oval, wherein the light, blissful original is turned into a dark, chilling lament. Creepy. Vindicatrix, part of the Mordant Music roster, has released one album, but I don't remember his material sounding as alienating as this before. 2009's Die Alten Bösen Lieder - apparently a Schumann reference that hinted at depths of intelligence - was described in Wire magazine last January as an "oustanding" work of "preposterous, overblown ambition". Which sounds about right. Check the cover version out below.
