Further twisting Radiohead's debut single, GFOTY's vocals mark a change in character from Thom Yorke's tortured delivery, a shift that can be seen as either incongruent or perhaps even more fitting. It is the former in the sense that lyrically "Creep" is a very human and even happy song, as guitarist/pianist Jonny Greenwood said it is about "recognizing who you are." However, I'll argue the latter here as GFOTY's computer-aided vocal delivery injects the pure unease and utter creepiness that is so inherent in the original. She is indeed more human than HAL 9000, but I cannot help but feel those same shivers as GFOTY gives her all, especially evident as she nearly evaporates around 2:05.
All in all, this is a smartly crafted and truly enjoyable cover, which I believe perfectly encompasses the ethos of the original. GFOTY has heard from the commenters and made "CREEP" downloadable, here.FOLLOW GFOTY: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
