The Fat Angel Sings

Soak’s debut album ‘Before We Forgot How To Dream’ is out on Rough Trade Records on 1st/2nd June 2015, “Immigrant Song” is one of Led Zeppelin’s many classics, known and loved for its iconic guitar and bass lines, as well as Robert Plant’s sky-reaching shrieks. But in the hands of 18-year-old Irish songwriter,Soak , the song has become a threatening drone. Building on pulsating synths and elongated guitar notes, refrains from the frenzied heights of the original to create a creepy rendition highlighting the really rather brutal lyrics. Some director somewhere is going to pick this up for the trailer of their next dark fantasy epic.  This cover was recorded for Fearne Cotton’s last show on BBC Radio One.
