Juliana Hatfield’s cover of Elliot Smith’s “Needle In The Hay” from American Laundromat Records‘ “I Saved Latin! A Tribute to Wes Anderson” has been named to Paste Magazine’s list of the 20 best cover songs of 2014.Perhaps best of all is Hatfield’s cover of Elliott Smith’s heartbreaking ‘Needle In The Hay’ – previously played out over Luke Wilson’s suicide attempt in …Tenenbaums. It’s a track so integral to the hugely affecting scene that Hatfield’s plaintive version brings all the emotions flooding straight back.

Near the beginning of the year, the spectral folk singer Marissa Nadler released a soft glow of an album called “July”. Today, she’s hitting us with “Before July”, a digital-only EP that includes four demos — two July songs and two unreleased songs. And it’s also got Nadler’s atmospheric, vaguely gothy cover of “Pitseleh,” a heartbreaker of a song from the late legend Elliott Smith’s 1998 album XO. In Nadler’s hands, the lyrics and melody are the same as they were with the original, but the arrangement is very, very different.
