D.C. band Priests went into a recording studio and had their way with Danzig’s 1988 single “Mother,” coming back with a decidedly disco-punk take on the tune.

“This whole album [Danzig] is actually pretty sexy, something it doesn’t get enough credit for,” the band said in a statement about the self-titled full-length on which “Mother” originally appeared. “We thought we’d tease this out a little more in our cover by reimagining it with a ‘Let’s Dance’ era Nile-Rodgers-producing-Bowie kind of glamor. Plus, what better way to subvert expectations of a Danzig song than by sprinkling it with a little disco panache? We assume this cover won’t be for everybody, but that’s the whole point of committing to creative decisions now, isn’t it?”
