This EP from Parquet Courts man A. Savage is 3/4 covers. Songs by Lavender Country, Kevin Ayers, and Johnny Paycheck. Never got around to it but listening now.
Just stumbled upon this post-punk/shoegaze Nirvana cover, pretty good. Rest of the album sounds shoegazy in a DIIV/Nothing way for anyone interested.
ROIS has been doing a cover of that song too, don’t think it’s been released.
From Laura Brannigan’s Self Control to Built To Spill’s Goin’ Against Your Mind
Really simple version but it’s dead good imo. Also quite funny coming from 2 lads dressed as the band from High Fidelity
I was fully expecting this to be a cover of a different song called ‘Better Off Alone’ but no, it is the song you’re all thinking of.
Beautiful cover of Song to the Siren
The other cover on that record is also pretty special.
Oh shoot, forgot that was a cover!
