Listen: The 1975 Cover Sade’s ‘By Your Side’

Check out their vocoder-laden re-work...

The 1975 have unveiled a cover of Sade's 2000 single 'By Your Side'.

The band played Tufnell Park Dome in North London last night (February 21st) as part of the BRIT Awards x Warchild gig series.

An explosive return, the group shared the cover on Radio 1 just as the gig drew to a close.

'By Your Side' is given a complete overhaul, with the tender vocal filtered through some effects that are eerily reminiscent of Bon Iver.

The 1975's first new single since the release of 'I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it' last year, you can check it out below.
