Foster The People recently hopped across the pond for a special live radio appearance on BBC's famed Radio 1 Live Lounge. Artists on the show are often asked to cover songs they find interesting, and this visit was no different. Taking an unexpected stab at The Strokes' 'Machu Picchu' the result was a sort of poppy, synth-laden disco version. While the overall structure of the song is not much different--nor the vocals--The People still got the toes tapping. There was a significant addition of drums to the track which worked out in my opinion.
Have a listen and decide which one captures the spirit of the ancients better.
