ULVER Covers PRINCE

ULVER has posted a cover version of PRINCE's “Thieves in the Temple” ontheir official MySpace page ( http://www.myspace.com/ulver1 ).”Thieves in the Temple” was originally released on Prince's 1990'Graffiti Bridge' album, with the song hitting 6 on the US charts.

For the cover, ULVER collaborated with female soul singer and WYCLEF JEAN protégée, SIRI STRANGER. The boys downplay their own participation, and relation to Prince, with the following statement: “Prince is not our familiar, but we appreciate his spirituality and sensibility, manifest in this song. We are thieves in his temple.”
