I'm not a fan of online bands that do weird montage-y covers of pop songs because I tend to dislike what they end up doing with the song; it's usually just 'ok'. That said, I would like to make a distinction between this group and the ones I mentioned above. Although Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi do make montage videos of them playing the various parts of a song and overlap them and all that, their covers are really well done and very clever (musically speaking). And the DIY aspect of their act comes through their music in an effective way. I think that because they have more or less taken the aforementioned route, that they've been pretty much ignored. Here they've made a great video/recording for their original song "Like A Storm". Featuring a simple structure, nice vocals, and killer live DnB drumming! Take the time to appreciate this (esp. if you live in New England and are also experiencing this crazy weather).
