Good 2024 cover songs?

Any good cover songs this year?

I don’t generally (ever) seek out cover tracks but ngl I’ve got a music league round coming up with the theme of 2024 covers and I’m wondering if anything I know has slipped through the cracks (i.e. I didn’t realize it was a cover) or simply things I might like that I haven’t heard.

Looking for actual bands/artists doing covers, not just YouTube nobodies. That said, embedding a YouTube would be appreciated.

Anglo-Japanese surf rock band The Routes did a whole album of Joy Division covers which (I think) work surprisingly well.

The Ethel Cain cover of For Sure is particularly good.

Didn’t realise it was a cover and couldn’t find the original (oh now I have, Johnny Dynamite)

Soap&Skin finally answering the question “what if Cat Power’s Maybe Not but less jaunty?”

I liked the Paraorchestra / Brett Anderson / Charles Hazlewood Death Songbook stuff.

I did a cover of Julian Cope’s Las Vegas Basement this year … but I’m not even a YouTube nobody
