"Favorite Things": Attack the Sound’s Refreshing Take on a Timeless Classic
Chicago’s vibrant music scene has long been a hub of creativity, and Attack the Sound, one of the city’s most innovative indie pop bands, continues to push the boundaries with their latest single, "Favorite Things." By drawing inspiration from the beloved classic in The Sound of Music and John Coltrane’s legendary jazz interpretation, the band has created a version that is unmistakably their own.
Infusing their signature Chi-pop style, a unique fusion of indie R&B, jazz, gospel, and pop, Attack the Sound has crafted a rendition that balances tradition with modernity. Smooth vocals weave effortlessly through intricate instrumental solos, anchored by a soulful horn section that elevates the track to a place of pure artistry. The result is a song that feels timeless yet strikingly contemporary, bridging generations and genres.
For bandleader Davo Sounds, this project was both a tribute and a creative leap. “Coltrane’s take on this song has always been a source of inspiration for us,” Davo explains. “With our version, we wanted to honor his legacy but also bring our own voice, energy, and interpretation to a song that resonates so deeply across time.”
This approach is a testament to Attack the Sound’s artistic ethos: respecting the past while boldly redefining it. The band’s ability to transform classic influences into something fresh and accessible is part of what sets them apart in Chicago’s dynamic music scene.
Their journey from local favorites to genre pioneers is marked by unforgettable live performances on stages like Navy Pier and festivals such as NXNE in Toronto. Collaborations with renowned artists, including Isaiah Sharkey and Taylor Bennett, highlight their versatility and appeal.
With "Favorite Things," Attack the Sound delivers more than just a cover, they offer a reimagining that invites listeners to experience a familiar melody in an entirely new light. Whether you’re a jazz enthusiast, an indie pop lover, or someone seeking a fresh perspective on a classic, this track promises to captivate your senses.
