Electronic-rock duo The Big Pink celebrated their second birthday earlier this year with quite a bash: the release of their new album, "A Brief History of Love," charted on thousands of radio stations, and its lead single, "Velvet," was added to Pitchfork Media's "Top 500 Songs of the 2000s" list.

After being asked by the BBC Radio One to cover a Top 40 song, they worked out a cover of Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams," which they played during for The Current. They also explained the song writing process for their song, "Dominos."

Songs performed: "Velvet," the Beyonce cover of "Sweet Dreams," and "Dominos."
