In recent weeks, UK goth rockers The Horrors have covered Beyoncé’s “Best Thing I Never Had” and David Bowie’s “Suffragette City”. In both instances, the band took distinctive sounds and turned them into their own slices of post-punk creepiness. Now, the band continues a similar approach with their remix of Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary”, from the upcoming album Born This Way: The Remix. What was a campy romp of pop music farce has been stripped down to its most essential and haunting. Be it a cover song or a remix, the band has mastered their sound well enough to consume even the largest pop giants. Check it out below (via NME).
Then, for comparison’s sake, the Gaga original.
