Song of the month: 'Pilgrims' by Boo Seeka

One of my favourite songs has been Boo Seeka's cover of MØ's 'Pilgrim'.
Boo Seeka is an Electro-pop duo based in Sydney, Australia. The duo consists of the lead singer and guitarist Ben Gumbleton, called 'Boo' and Sam Croft, who plays the electronic instruments. The band is an incredible good live band. I think I even like their live performances better than their records.
During their shows, the band creates a carefree atmosphere and is able to put the audience in a very good mood. That's one reason why I love their live cover of  MØ's song Pilgrim so much. They put their own spin on the song and I love the bohemian sound they create. Additionally, Boo has such a soft voice that gives me chills and I could listen to him singing all day long :)
The band recorded the song within the cover series of triple j. Triple j is an Australian radio station. In their 'Like a Version' - sessions, the radio station invites different bands each week to cover a song of their choice. You can listen to the song below:



 

The band is currently on tour and will be joining the bands 'Cherub' and 'Frenship' on their national tour in the USA in October. You can find the tour dates on their website.
