There's this German marching band called Meute who do brass cover versions of dance music at festivals, and they are more hipster than seems possible in 2018, but here is their live version of the Flume remix of You & Me by Disclosure and Eliza Doolittle, and I think it's somehow really good. Am I going crazy here? This shouldn't be good.

There's a fair bit of brass on The Notorious Byrd Brothers innit. "Artificial Energy" and "Draft Morning", etc...
Jens Lekman's "You Are the Light"; probably a few other tracks too, his "usual lineup" being hard to define.

I guess Talking Heads' Naked begins ("Blind"/"Mr Jones") with uncharacteristically large helpings of brass. Though some of that is saxophone, so...
Bjork has obviously dabbled a few times, circa Debut and Volta especially.
Hunters & Collectors seem like serial offenders. Have to remind myself that the horn section were semi-official members.
The Meute clip is good methinks. At this point I'd get way more mileage out of brass band renditions of pop hits than string quartet arrangements.
