London garage rock outfit On Video have impressed us since they appeared earlier in the year, with a string of thrilling new tracks, pooled together as the 'Clap Trap' EP. Possibly in celebration of his Glastonbury 2020 headline slot, the quartet have now brought us a cover of Paul McCartney's 'Temporary Secretary', an unexpectedly avant-garde number that we hadn't come across previously. Thanks chaps. Listen to both versions below.
