Bill McClintock has a stack of mashups like this (he complicates things by also mashing up the videos for the songs he brings together), and this is one of his most inspired. I’ve followed Korn on and off for a while and I always thing “Coming Undone” was one of their better tunes, but I know practically nothing about Portugal. The Man other than I fucking hate that band name, and though they won a Grammy for it, I have never knowingly heard “Feel It Still”… or so I thought until I discovered I had in fact seen the music video for it, which my Youtube history tells me I did nearly a year ago. You can see what a deep impression it left on me.
Still, combine a hipster bullshit soul/funk revivalist beat with young Mr Davis’ angst and add a guest appearance by Tony Iommi as icing on the cake, and godDAMN if you don’t have a winner. I’ve never been big on mashups cos I don’t think they actually achieve much beyond incongruous humour; I’ve never heard one that actually adds to or improves upon the source material apart from the immortal “Stroke of Genie-us” by Freelance Hellraiser. Brother McClintock comes awfully close here, though. Stellar stuff.
