Old news for those who have followed this blog for a while: Finnish synthpoppers Viola decided to release a new track every single month. As August rolls in (blimey, time sure does fly doesn’t it?), the duo decides to record and release a cover – something they’ve only done once before a couple of centuries ago.

The duo tackles Finnish band TV-Resistori’s song Näen tanssivan sun uudestaan ["I See You Dancing Again"] and while doing so, they’ve inverted the great Finnish covering tradition of translating songs from other languages to Finnish by doing it the other way around. The Viola track is called Oh How You Dance, and that’s about the most indepth thing you can read about it from me because I’ve never heard the original song and thus can’t compare. However, they’ve managed to make the song entirely their own, sounding exactly like the band’s own material. If you’re a Viola enthusiast, this means a must-have download for you. It’s good stuff. For everyone else, there’s the entire discography for completely free.
