The Versus Project – Borrisokane & Major Major Major (Premiere)

If you like ambitious endeavors, then look no further than The Versus Project.  Curated by locals Borrisokane (and to be released by Oscillation Records), The Versus Project is a six-EP box set that features a whole variety of things.  There’s Borrisokane covering each of the six contributing acts, all of the contributing acts covering Borrisokane, and also six new Borrisokane songs to go with a new track from each of the contributing acts.  Whew.  It’s definitely a lot (12 covers and 12 originals, to be exact), but it’s also one of the more rad things to come out of Austin in 2014, so the extra effort required to get it all straight is worth your time.  We promise.

Now, with that out of the way, let’s get on with the premiere of the Borrisokane VS Major Major Major portion of the box set.  Both songs are completely different than their original takes, but that’s what I love about them.  Why bother with a project like this unless you’re going to shake some stuff up, right?  Enjoy.
