Say Lou Lou hasn’t even released their debut album, and yet here they are on our best covers list. The twin sisters teamed up with nu-disco producer Lindstrørm for a bubbly cover of Daft Punk’s “Instant Crush.” The rework switches out synth for atmospheric guitar and drums and layered angelic vocals from Elektra and Miranda Kilbey-Jansson. We can only hope that this dreamy cover is indicative of what that debut will bring in early 2015

HENRY GREEN – ” My Number ” Foals Cover
Posted: January 9, 2015 in MUSICTags: Cover, Foals, Henry Green
One of the best singles of 2013 gets a very chilled, lo-fi makeover courtesy of Henry Green. Some fragile guitar work here as well as some very nice but subtle finger-clicking. Very much one for the end of a long night just before bed. Sparse and quiet, compared to the original’s indie-funk, it was great to hear what is now deemed an indie classic (amongst some people anyway) being given a reinvention.
British newcomer Henry Green is the kind of artist who can make a huge impact with small means. The small town singer-songwriters visceral voice may be gentle in appearance but it can peel off a song as melancholy as his debut single “Shipwreck” to its darkest soul.

SHAKEY GRAVES – ” Passionate Kisses ” Lucinda Williams Cover

Shakey Graves, Rose-Garcia from Austin, Texas, He plays a gnarly composite of blues and folk as a one-man-band of epic sonic proportions. The sound emitted from his hollow body guitar, mildly distorted amp and suitcase drum belie the young singer’s lean frame. He fingerpicks while keeping time with a double-pedal kick drum, hitting a snare fitted into his suitcase drum and a tambourine fashioned to its side. And when he sings, Rose-Garcia unleashes an unearthly howl. Gritty groans and sexy moans carry his stories of both accepting and trying to overcome personal challenges masked with old-timey Western imagery.
