Could the Cher/Nancy Sinatra classic “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)” get any more haunting? After hearing noise musician Pharmakon’s cover, the answer is a resounding yes.

In honor of Record Store Day 2014, “Bang Bang” gets the power-electronics treatment courtesy of Brooklyn-based Pharmakon, aka Margaret Chardiet. Chardiet’s voice is absolutely arresting over Earth-shaking warped gunshots, giving the eerie ’60s slow-burner one of the darkest makeovers to date. The song will be available on Sacred Bones’ Record Store Day compilation Todo Muere Vol. 4.

Check out more from Pharmakon on the Sacred Bones website.
