Watch the video here The HU’s distinct style allows listeners to hear this song in a completely new way. The band added traditional Mongolian instrumentation along with their signature style of throat singing and swapped out “Sad But True”’s English lyrics for their native language, Mongolian. The same distorted guitar melody from the original song helps drive the song forward, but the originality and musical prowess of The HU’s distinguishing sound makes this track stand out on its own. With this cover, The Hu also launches BETTER NOISE’s BEST OF series that runs throughout the label’s 15th year in business – 2021.  The compilation features exciting new versions of songs from their diverse rock catalog.
