UK label Heavenly Recordings is turning 25 this year, and they’re releasing a few special singles to celebrate. They got relatively recent signee Mark Lanegan and early star Beth Orton to record a cover of “Your Kisses Burn,” the 1988 duet between Soft Cell’s Marc Almond and Nico, which ended up being Nico’s final recording before her death. Lanegan and Orton play the cover fairly straight, maintaining the original’s lushly orchestrated gothic grandeur, with maybe an added hint of dusty twang, thanks in no small part to Lanegan’s inimitable older-than-dirt voice. have a listen to the original version below from the Album: Marc Almond – The Stars We Are (1988).

RYAN ADAMS – ” Times Like These ” Foo Fighters Cover

During a concert in Sydney Australia last night (July 21st), Ryan Adams paid tribute to Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl’s resilience following his recent leg injury by covering the band’s One by One hit, “Times Like These.” Before launching into his gorgeous, acoustic rendition of the Foos classic, Ryan Adams told the audience the song was dedicated to Grohl for “carrying on despite being totally broken.” Grohl, who broke his leg during a concert in Sweden, has soldiered on with the band’s current tour — in large part thanks to an extravagant throne Grohl designed himself.
According to NME, Adams’ “Times Like These” cover arrived during his encore at the Opera House in Sydney, along with his Heartbreaker favorite, “Come Pick Me Up.” The rest of the setlist — which can be found at the bottom of the page (via Setlist.fm) — featured a career-spanning collection of Adams’ songs, including cuts from the singer’s days with the Cardinals and Whiskeytown.
Ryan Adams has three more dates in Australia on the books, including an appearance at Splendour in the Grass festival this Friday (July 24). In November, he’ll play the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City. Get more tour details on his website.

GENGAHR – ” I’m So Tired ” Fugazi Cover

Ahead of the new Gengahr album, We did a Fugazi cover, hope you like it! Our album is available for pre-order at gengahr.com if you do.

If being doe-eyed came with it’s own personal soundtrack, it would be written by Gengahr, and I mean that as an absolute compliment; the London quartet are like the “Girls” the UK never had. Soft spoken and delicately delivered, Gengahr have just produced an argent take on post-hardcore icons Fugazi’s “I’m So Tired”, which appears on the soundtrack to their Instrument documentary and remains one of the few examples of Ian Mackaye singing an actual melody.

Originally a minimal piano arrangement, Gengahr have drowned the track in a whirlpool of reverb, harmony and topped it off with 30 seconds of rightrous shredding. Somehow, the result is even more wistful than a fed up Ian Mackaye counting proverbial black sheep.

Pre-order on www.gengahr.com

Slated for a June 15th release through Transgressive Records, North London’s Gengahr are pleased to announce their debut album A Dream Outside.

Picking up where 2014 left off Gengahr marked out their intentions for 2015 with an opening slot on Alt-J’s European tour and the release of the gloriously spellbinding ‘She’s A Witch’, which received acclaim from the likes of The Sunday Times, Independent, DIY and NME

 

The WOODEN SKY – ” American Girl ” Tom Petty Cover

With their upcoming album, “Let’s Be Ready”, the Wooden Sky rocks their roots in a big way with steely riffs and rumbling rhythms underneath often anthemic melodies. That bigger and bolder sound has emerged from the vigorous touring schedule they’ve maintained over the past few years. Naturally, the band wanted to capture that same raw energy on their new record.

Tasked with writing tunes that fit, front man Gavin Gardiner mined life and love for topics. Songs in hand, the band went back out to road test them. Some made the cut, some didn’t when the Wooden Sky returned home ready to record. In the studio, they tracked as much of the set as they could with live takes. They took the same approach when it came to putting the songs on video, including this bonus cut — their rendition of Tom Petty’s “American Girl.”

‘We still believe in rock and roll — this song embodies a lot of that spirit,” Gardiner explains. “It’s an early Tom Petty classic and one we’ve been playing live off and on for a few years. We were in a little beach town filming our own songs at an old theatre when one of the camera men, who’d been with us since our early days, asked us if we would play ‘American Girl’ for him. It had been a long day of filming, but we fired up one take for old times’ sake. When we got the footage back, it was clear that we’d captured something and thought maybe it was time we put our take on it out there into the world.”

Let’s Be Ready LP drops June on 16th via Nevado Music.

TELEGRAMS – ” Needles In The Camels Eye “

Telegram

Telegrams brand of psychotic artrock has turned them into one of London’s finest live acts, capable of seething and writhing their way around the capital’s seedy venue circuit with no small hint of glamour.

New single ‘Aeons’  is due to be released on July 10th via the band’s own Gram Gram Records imprint. A fine return, it finds Telegram somehow managing to bottle the lightning – to get their vital, virile live show down on record. On the flip, fans can find Telegram’s re-working of ‘Needles In The Camel’s Eye’. A piece of oddball glam snot from Brian Eno in his ‘Here Come The Warm Jets’ phase, it’s a faithful but raucous rendering which salutes the artful strut of the original while adding their own preening gaze.

Frontman Matt says: “Eno once described ‘Needles In The Camel’s Eye’ as “an instrumental with singing on it” and you can’t argue with that! Nor can we deny this be a favorite of ours. we played it so much from the record that I think we inevitably got bored of hearing it like that, so we started playing it live instead”.

“Building as Foreign” is available instantly on preorder of the forthcoming album ‘Tiny Rewards’  by the wonderful Glagow based band Admiral Fallow due out May 25th.
“This Must Be The Place (Talking Heads Cover)” by Admiral Fallow. Following the release of their third full-length album, Tiny Rewards, Glasgow’s indie-rock quartet Admiral Fallow have put their own spin on Talking Heads‘ classic hit, “This Must Be The Place.” Although the band have a history of writing lofty folk ballads, their cover of “This Must Be The Place” is soft and endearing, while staying true to the original. What begins with a simple guitar riff, slowly evolves into a charming pop song full of quirky synths and fluttering flutes. So, if you’re still wondering whether you should pick up the band’s latest album, this should be reason enough.

SOAK – ” Immigrant Song ” Led Zeppelin Cover

Soak’s debut album ‘Before We Forgot How To Dream’ is out on Rough Trade Records on 1st/2nd June 2015, “Immigrant Song” is one of Led Zeppelin’s many classics, known and loved for its iconic guitar and bass lines, as well as Robert Plant’s sky-reaching shrieks. But in the hands of 18-year-old Irish songwriter,Soak , the song has become a threatening drone. Building on pulsating synths and elongated guitar notes, refrains from the frenzied heights of the original to create a creepy rendition highlighting the really rather brutal lyrics. Some director somewhere is going to pick this up for the trailer of their next dark fantasy epic.  This cover was recorded for Fearne Cotton’s last show on BBC Radio One.
