Elastic Sleep – You Only Live Twice
Niamh: ‘ So Elastic Sleep are a new electro synth pop act from Cork, quite a busy band…I think they’re a really talented bunch, I’ve seen this performed live and they actually carry it off really well…they released this during the week for free via their bandcamp…They kind of put their own stamp on it as well, it’s definitely their sound, it’s definitely an Elastic Sleep cover of You Only Live Twice, which is pretty cool’
