With the passing of the great Lou Reed this week, Twin Shadow take their turn to pay tribute to the Velvet Underground icon by performing a dark synth filled version of 'Perfect Day'. Watch the video of below.
Paired with just the silhouette of George Lewis Jr.,Twin Shadow produce an eerie and heart felt performance of the famous track with sythy organs, thudding electronic beats and Lewis Jr.'s deep vocals.
The end result is a track that drifts in and out of an underlying darkness, but stays true to the beauty of the original track. The added pause mid-track almost seems symbolic in remembrance of Reed, either way its adds great suspense to the track.

The cover is just one of many tributes made to the passing of Lou Reed this week. Arctic Monkeys performed classic track 'Walk On The Wild Side' at Liverpool Echo Arena on Monday whilst Arcade Fire gave their own renditions of 'Perfect Day' and 'Satellite of Love' on NPR.
