‘Stillness Is the Move’ by Solange Knowles

If Solange Knowles isn’t sampling Boards of Canada or getting Jay-Z and Beyoncé into Grizzly Bear, she’s jamming out to Dirty Projectors. She’s been bumping DP so much, in fact, that she decided to go ahead and cover the Brooklyn band’s Bitte Orca standout “Stillness Is the Move”, which always sounded like a monster R&B track in disguise anyway.

UPDATE: This cover is rooted in “Bumpy’s Lament” by Soul Mann & the Brothers, which was sampled by Dr. Dre on “XXplosive” and Erykah Badu on “Bag Lady”.

Wait what?! Solange is such a hipster. Kinda weird how the Dirty Projectors version sounds like the cover. (via p4k)

    Just as I suspected,...song feels right at home in an R&B suit.
