Listen to Wampire's Hazy Rework of Kraftwerk's "Das Modell"

Portland-based psych warblers Wampire have tempered their up-tempo single "The Hearse" with this b-side, a creeping cover of Kraftwerk's "Das Modell." An ode to the seminal krautrock band, Wampire retains the essence of the original, but envelops the song in a tangible haze. The chunky guitar riff keep the beat moving, while the whimpering synth line keeps your mind engaged. The Hearse is out now in digital format on Polyvinyl Records, but for analog enthusiasts, their purple seven-inch will be shipping on February 22nd. Check the stream below and pre-order the vinyl here.

Wampire is also on tour starting today with Foxygen and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Tour dates below.
