Postmodern Jukebox Evoke Jackson 5 For Postal Service Cover

Bubbles would be so proud

Renowned purveyors of alternate-universe pop Postmodern Jukebox - who you may remember as the outfit responsible for that unbelievable jazz-style cover of Fountains Of Wayne's singular hit Stacy's Mom - have tapped the Jackson 5 well in creating their latest cover, this re-envisioning of The Postal Service's heartfelt anthem Such Great Heights.

Fronted by rising 21-year-old singer Kiah Victoria for the newest clip, the band's consistent central force is pianist Scott Bradlee, with cohorts Mykal Kilgore (back-up vocals), Asmeret Ghebremichael (back-up vocals), Seth Paris (baritone sax), Adam Kubota (bass) and Chip Thomas (drums) rounding out the roster this time around.

Bust out those flare pants, platform shoes and mirror balls, folks - we're getting retro up in here.

Things are starting to pick up steam for the hard-working troupe, which has been steadfastly delivering reworked versions of well-known songs every week for well over a year; they're about to set off on a massive European tour, starting in Belfast on 6 February and heading through England, Scotland, Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Poland and Austria.

No word on whether the band has the southern hemisphere in their sites but, believe us, as soon as it seems like they might be thinking about heading our way, we will let you know.
