Astronauts Etc feat. Toro y Moi – “Rocket Man” (Elton John Cover)

Astronauts Etc feat. Toro y Moi

Before hitting the road together for a North American tour, Astronauts Etc and Toro Y Moi collaborate for a cover of Elton John’s classic song “Rocket Man.” This version is very chill and extra groovy, and its vintage aesthetic makes it sound it like it could’ve just been an alternate from that era to the original we know today.

Hear it below.
