The Postmarks, everyone's new favorite indie band from Miami FLA, are starting the new year with a personal challenge, to release a new cover every month until the end of 2008. The experiment, referred to as By The Numbers, starts off with "One Note Samba," which according to The Postmark's website is a song composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. While I have never heard the original, the song has been covered by a number of artists including Sergio Mendes, Elle Fitzgerald, Quincy Jones, and Frank Sinatra.The Postmarks' version plays like a slowed down of this typically playful tune. Don't expect to be showing off any of your best Samba moves with this one, but do expect to be seduced by the dreamy, breathy vocals of singer Tim Yehezkely (yes, the female singer is named Tim). To hear it for yourself, you will need an account with emusic.
