Junior Boys Remix Yoko Ono’s “Give Me Something”
Obligatory “Yoko Ono’s an amazing artist and if you think differently you are very wrong” point. OK, with that out of the way…the Japanese avant-gardist’s 1980 tune “Give Me Something” gets a 21st century makeover courtesy of Junior Boys. The Canadian duo transform Ono’s track into…a Junior Boys track. It’s all sexy synths and space….
