Check it out below.The recording was done during a very special Maida Vale session for BBC Radio 1 earlier this week, and comes in anticipation of their upcoming fourth album ‘21st Century Fiction’.In the track, the band blend together the Chappell Roan track ‘My Kink Is Karma’ with the classic Radiohead hit ‘Creep’, and put their own spin on both.With the mash-up, the band captured the same emotion and airiness of the former NME Cover star’s single – which came as the second track to be shared from her massive debut album ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess’.

They also capture the same sense of introspection and melancholy as seen in the 1992 rock classic.They shared the full session for Radio 1 as part of BBC Sounds, and the appearance at Maida Vale also saw them deliver a performance of their Royal Blood collaborative track ‘My Blood’, as well as their hit ‘Love Is A Dog From Hell.’Check out a clip of the Chappell Roan and Radiohead mash-up below, or listen to the full BBC Sounds episode here.A post shared by The Amazons (@theamazons) In the episode of BBC Sounds, frontman Matt Thompson opened up about how The Amazons decided to blend the pop hit and the alt-rock classic together, and said that it came from their admiration for Chappell Roan.“It was important for us to pick the right artist, and I think Chappell was the right artist because she’s setting the tone for now,” he explained. “She’s meeting the moment in the most uncompromising way.”“To see someone operate at such an elevated level without compromise is the gold standard of everything we do,” Thompson added. “I love the song.
