Arctic Monkeys - ‘Feels Like We Only Go Backwards'

Alex “God Among Mortals” Turner, of Arctic Monkeys fame, stopped by Triple J yesterday to treat us with a live acoustic cover of Tame Impala’s ‘Feels Like We Only Go Backwards’.

Objectively, it’s an uninventive take on an over-covered song, especially in comparison to the John Butler Trio’s foot-stomping ‘Happy’ cover last month. But if we’re honest, any vain attempt at objectivity goes out the window when Turner opens his mouth and a sudden rush of bliss takes us away to a better place. A place with less clothes, and lots of Alex Turner.

Just you try to resist it.
