Hot Chip's version of "Transmission" for the new War Child "Heroes" album


The latest War Child compilation calls on the coolest popsters to do cover versions of some pretty high profile tracks. There's Lily Allen's version of "Straight To Hell", by the one and only Clash; Scissor Sisters try Roxy Music with "Do The Strand"; and Franz Ferdinand go Blondie with "Call Me".
The full tracklisting is here, along with details to order this great album. It's for a great cause guys, just buy it!
War Child have previously put out those "Help" albums, which saw Britpop luminaries come together in 1995, and later on in 2005 when many of the same bands offered tracks they wrote and recorded in 24 hours.

Listen below to Hot Chip's version of the Joy Division track "Transmission". It's much more low key than I expected, which matches the original...and STEEL DRUMS!
