Listen: Tame Impala Cover Michael Jackson’s “Stranger in Moscow”

Rob Slater on March 14, 2014

Australian psych rock meets Michael Jackson today as Tame Impala took a stab at MJ’s “Stranger in Moscow.” “Fresh out of the oven,” the band said on Facebook. Given the current political and social landscape in Russia, maybe there is something behind this random selection, but for now let’s just sit back and enjoy a beautiful take on one of Jackson’s lesser known tunes.

The band is currently off the road but will play a one-off in Australia on April 27 before hitting the road in Europe beginning May 22. Check out all of Tame Impala’s summer plans right here.
