When is a cover song better than the original? Only you can decide. This week Dr. Dog takes on Architecture In Helsinki’s “Heart It Races.” MAGNET’s Edward Fairchild pulls the pin. Take cover!
For the release of 2007’s Heart It Races EP, Australian band Architecture In Helsinki enlisted some friends for cover versions and remixing duty of the single. Dr. Dog practically owned it. The Philadelphia band put a rootsy, jammy twist on the island-beat psychedelia of the original, slowing it down and adding hand claps and a slide guitar.

Dr. Dog ROCKS this song. So much better than the original !
yes!!!!!!!!!! We agree with Cindy..
Maybe next you could challenge Dr. Dog’s The Girl with Beck’s cover of The Girl. I vote for Dr. Dog’s version.
Yeah, I don’t really wanna ‘get’ that AIH vid, so i’m gonna go with the one that sounds more rockin’.
