LISTEN: Orkestra Obsolete play Blue Monday using 1930s instruments

For those who aren’t aware, today is Blue Monday!

From Wikipedia:

Blue Monday is the new name given to a day in January (typically the third Monday of the month) claimed to be the most depressing day of the year. The concept was first published as part of a 2005 press release from holiday company Sky Travel[1] , which claimed to have calculated the date using an equation. It takes into account weather conditions and this only applies to the Northern Hemisphere.

Apparently there’s not much to it, and it is largely understood to be pseudoscience, but it does seem like an opportunity to find neat covers of New Order’s 1983 hit Blue Monday.
