No matter your feelings on the latest Girl Talk album, the truth is that mashups still rule.

As part of Billboard.com’s Mashup Mondays, the Rural Alberta Advantage went into their studios to record an acoustic session, including a cover of ABBA’s “S.O.S.“. You can watch the video below.

“I like finding the nugget of a song and changing it and making it into something that we would probably write,” singer Nils Edenloff says of the band’s melancholic, acoustic cover. The video switches from the RAA’s cover into a snippet of the original and back for the band to finish it off. Included is some interview footage with the band sharing how cover stories were a big part of their empty open-mic night beginnings, as well as an additional performance.

The Rural Alberta Advantage’s sophomore album Departing will be released next Tuesday, March 1.
