At the heart of it is a sweet and soulful bass line, not so unfamiliar; but all around is a cacophony of sound - guitars sounding like they're being tuned-up, a vocal which initially sounds disinterested and dejected, a drum-beat that has more to do with the Stooges than with Motown's Sound Of Young America.
And then you realise it's a tune you've known all your life.
Chapter Sweetheart create a joyful noise, not just on their amazing version of Smokey Robinson's My Girl, but on all the tracks available on their myspace.
On certain tracks the east London based outfit introduce cornet, harmonica and even handheld bull horn - bringing to mind the sound of Ornette Coleman and Joe Bowie and at the same time the No Wave sensibility of the Lounge Lizards and James Chance.
What's also great about these recordings is that they feel dirty, they feel live and unapologetic, like walking into someones living-room before they've had a chance to tidy-up you get a a palpable sense of who they really are.
This is how great garage bands are meant to sound.
They've got a number of dates line-up and it's well worth taking the opportunity to see them at this stage. Tomorrow night they perform live at the Social off Oxford Circus. This is a chance to catch a great new band early, or to be forever late.
