System of a Down‘s Serj Tankian has shared a cover of the song “A Seed,” originally by DJ and producer deadmau5.
The track will appear on Tankian’s upcoming compilation album, Covers, Collaborations & Collages.
“‘A Seed’ begins with a haunting piano intro that opens itself to a polyrhythmic trip; a carousel that has no beginning or end,” Tankian says. “The lyrics are derived from Cool Gardens – my first book of poetry.”
Covers, Collaborations & Collages consists of just that, with “collages” referring to previously unreleased archival recordings. It’s due out Oct. 24, and Tankian will be putting out a new song from the collection each week.
Meanwhile, Tankian is currently playing a run of North American stadium shows with System of a Down, which resumes Sunday at Chicago’s Soldier Field.
