Titus Andronicus frontman Patrick Stickles and the Weeknd both have a lot of passion, albeit in slightly different ways. That didn’t stop Stickles from offering his own, stripped down and raw-voiced cover of the Weeknd’s sultry track, “The Hills,” during a recent in-studio session on SiriusXM. The unique spin on the pop song is, despite all the differences in style, somehow still just a little bit sexy, if you’re into that sort of thing.
