I love New Order. Who doesn’t? It’s like some kind of mor­tal sin to not love them. Here are a few cov­ers I’ve amassed, I hope you’ll enjoy that famil­iar prickly hair-raising feel­ing when the intro to Temp­ta­tion starts…

There’s quite a mix down there, Iron & Wine makes Love Vig­i­lantes their own by basi­cally singing the song the way he sings all his other songs. Mean­while, a cover of the same song done by The String Quar­tet is a serene instru­men­tal. Juke­box the Ghost’s inter­pre­ta­tion of Temp­ta­tion is super POP. The only band that’s stayed true to the shoegaze vibe is Sen­nen with their Bizarre Love Tri­an­gle cover. Obvi­ously none of them can top the orig­i­nals, but it’s kind of nice to hear dif­fer­ent takes of the same golden tunes.
