No, the name’s not a coincidence: “Sloop John B” is, in fact, Jay Malinowski & The Deadcoast’s cover of the Beach Boys classic. But its new Victor John Penner-directed video, which we’re happy to premiere above, feels familiar for entirely different reasons. The song appears on Martel, which was released in February.

First, the voice. Most known perhaps for his time fronting Bedouin Soundclash, Malinowski’s tone is instantly recognizable, and the hopeful spirit that made songs like “When The Night Hears My Song” so successful underpins the song’s looming scope.

The video riffs off that energy, showing a band that, while perhaps stuck in a touring grind, still finds spare moments to let loose and have fun. And so while the song puts a different spin on the Pet Sounds classic, its original light never struggles to shine through.

Watch as the band gets up to no good in the MuchFACT-funded video up top, exclusively on AUX.
