After covering the likes of Kanye West and Colin Vearncombe, the latest addition to Canadian indie vets Stars' ongoing covers project is Mike Posner's pop hit "I Took a Pill in Ibiza."
Produced by longtime collaborator Liam O'Neil, the band put their lighthearted electro-pop stamp on the track with plenty of shimmering keyboards and airy vocals.
"The music industry is an abattoir," the band explained in a statement. "But fuck it, it was something to do. We will later be releasing our remix of this cover of a remix. And perhaps at some later date, a re-remix of our cover of this remix of an original.
"Content is king, kids, in the age of the glowing box. And it don't mean a thing if ain't got that cha-ching. This one's for Steve Miller, for some reason. Enjoy."
Stars are currently recording a new record along with each month's cover tune. Take a listen to the band's cover of "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" in the player below.
