Amy Millan & Martha Wainwright • Calling All Angels • 2026

 

“When I moved to Montreal as a young student with my first guitar, being in the orbit of the loft parties and folk houses is where I first heard Martha and her distinct, powerful and now iconic voice,” says Amy. “Grateful to call her a dear friend, I always wanted to find a way for us to sing together. This Canadian gem of a song by the great Jane Siberry (originally sung with k.d lang) was the perfect beginning for us to get this gentle chance to convene with angels.” EyoQBlfpYeJ

Conor Oberst, Blondshell • Event of a Fire • 2025

This is the fastest song I’ve ever written. I was in Berlin and I love that city so much. I was walking around and just writing things down that I saw. It’s a little bit about the city but mostly it’s about being alone and being okay with that for once. Also, I love the idea that you can start and stop and restart things whenever you want… in that way I guess it’s really just a song about having agency.

Rapt • Natural Light • 2025

I got some news on you from a friend

You're in Charlotte again

Teaching Spanish at high school

He said you're going by Joy

You cut your hair like a boy

And you don't talk to your old friends

I found a picture from before our fight

We're in natural light

And you're sitting on my lap

Like everything is alright

I've walked around with you on my mind

The way things were at the time

You know I've changed so much since then

I've thought on the things that we said

And what if we'd had a kid

I guess they'd be 15 now

I found a picture from before our fight

We're in natural light

And you're sitting on my lap

Like everything's alright

Rubblebucket • Anyone Else But You [Live @ SiriusXM] • 2025

rubblebucket.com

We have always loved the Moldy Peaches song "Anyone Else But You." The lyrics are so poetic and the song is so simple. Despite being so soft the performance has a punk ethos in its level of carefreeness. The vibe really captures our spirit and the lyrics deeply speak to our story of being friends, then romantic and then just friends again. In that way it also brings out the spirit/story of our most recent album Year of the Banana which is about enduring friendship in its various poetic snapshots of our cosmic collision. It was a little challenging to figure out how we could bring something fresh to something so perfect without ruining it but we're happy with our added syncopations, percussion, trumpet and synthesizer. We also made sure to run it by our friend Adam Green who is one half of Moldy Peaches who said in response: "This is great!! Love the trumpet and the ethereal pads in the second half - you guys do it perfectly - I wouldn’t overthink it - the nature of the song is casual like this so it really works... You guys sound superb singing it." Thanks Adam!

Soap&Skin • The End • 2024

Instagram

The single is taken from the first Soap&Skin cover album TORSO, which will be released on November 22 via Play It Again Sam. It follows the latest release of "Girl Loves Me", which was released in October along with a stunning video. Following her viral mega-success with "Me + the devil" (230k TikTok Creations / 200 million streams), her music is currently listened to by over 5 million people every month.

Anja says that she sometimes hears a song and has the feeling that there is something in it that she would like to add. From then on, she no longer listens to the original version, sometimes not for years. She records the songs from memory. For example, she hasn't listened to the original by The Doors for over seven years, an old favorite song that is like a little time capsule for her.

Dean & Britta & Sonic Boom • "Snow Is Falling in Manhattan” • 2024

Dean Wareham believes Purple Mountains’ “Snow Is Falling in Manhattan” is destined to be a holiday classic. Certainly, that wasn’t David Berman’s intention when writing—on the contrary, the lyrics reveal its real purpose: a farewell. Recorded shortly after Berman’s tragic death, its beautiful, yet sparse production has a solitary feeling to it. Its inclusion on Dean & Britta & Sonic Boom’s A Peace of Us allows us to feel the bittersweet amongst all the holiday cheer.  

Willie Nelson • Do You Realize?? • 2024

https://willienelson.com/

Willie Nelson is now in his 7th decade as a songwriter, performer and recording artist, but one of his most underrated talents is song interpretation. Over his career he has tackled songs from across the world of music, making each his own. Now for his 76th solo studio album and 153rd album overall as he celebrates his 91st year, Willie turns his gaze to a collection of songs by rock legends, idiosyncratic singer songwriters, altrock heroes and indie folk artists.

 

The second single from the album is Willie’s take on “Do You Realize??” One of The Flaming Lips’ most enduring songs is an existentialist masterpiece well-suited to the tao of Willie. From their perspective, the Lips loved it. “He’s just such a unique singer,” lead singer Wayne Coyne says. “You hear one second of his voice, and you go, that’s him.” Fellow bandmember and song co-writer Steven Drozd says his only regret is that his late father won’t get to hear it: “I wish he was still alive to see this happening, that Willie Nelson is doing a Flaming Lips song I had a part in co-writing. He’d be very proud.”

Pickle Darling • The Milkman of Human Kindness • 2024

Pickle Darling lends an uplifting cover of Billy Bragg's poignant classic, "The Milkman of Human Kindness.” Lukas Mayo, the creative force behind Pickle Darling, wields the song’s socially conscious message with a delicate plucking metronome through a terrain of synths, guitar and snappy drum machine.

Soap&Skin • Mystery Of Love • 2024

“I hear a song,” adds Anja, “and feel there's something else I'd like to add. Then I don't listen to the original. Sometimes not for years. I record the songs from memory.” So she hasn't heard The Doors' "The End" for over seven years now. An old favorite song, a little time capsule. Similar to Shirley Bassey's "Born To Lose".

Other new interpretations are Cat Power's "Maybe Not", David Bowie's "Girl Loves Me", Tom Waits' "Johnsburg, Illinois", Janis Ian's "Stars" and "Pale Blue Eyes" by The Velvet Underground among others. The strongest transformation, however, was certainly the digital bonus track, Plaschg's version of Lana Del Rey's "Gods & Monsters". If Lana Del Rey still wants “fame” and “liquor” and that “slowly” in 2012, Soap&Skin sings: “fame and liquor?”, “that is nothing holy.” And sunny lethargy turns into an experimental and mysterious electro soundscape.

Logan Lynn • To Be Of Use - SOFTCORE Short Film Scene 1 • 2024

https://loganlynnmusic.com/

“This track is a cover of one of my all-time favorite songs — originally written and recorded by SMOG — and for me, it’s about wanting to feel useful in a relationship, and in the world in general. It starts off soft and spare and slowly builds into a banger dance track. As the album opener, I wanted it to set the tone for the entire release: Find me at the intersection of masculinity and femininity, of hard and soft. This song embodies that.” - Logan Lynn

BETS • Blister In The Sun (Violent Femmes Cover) • 2024

First she transforms the Femmes' biggest splash into a shoegazey spectacle, putting the jaunty sounds of "Blister In The Sun" into slow motion, and re-contextualizing Gordan Gano's original lyrics of addiction and rejection into a somber, gentle, ballad reminiscent of Mazzy Star. The heavily manipulated footage for this video fades in between black and white and color, tracking the woman's longing gaze out of a backseat car-window, staring out at the city lights in a state of solitude. Says Bets, "Music + car + windows down, that feeling. Made in Tokyo. Where anything you want at night you can find."

“Lust in the streets, music to our ears.” 
- NOISEY

“Drift away with BETS’ dreamy new music video”
- NYLON

"It’s an album outfitted for the young urbanite just taking things day by day, hitting the inevitable rough patches but also strongly shining at times. BETS, it seems, is poised to be doing more of the latter in the near future."
- Paste

“BETS’ voice mesmerizes as it lulls us into a full dream state with her, as the gentle, warm, optimistic melodies wash over us.”
- Popmatters

"The producer’s light electronic touches allow the bicoastal artist’s ballads to breathe, lending verisimilitude to whatever issues BETS is tackling."
- Buzzbands.la

Widely known as one half of the songwriting duo that is The Moldy Peaches, Adam Green has had a singular influence on his generation of musicians and artists since the early 2000s. From the advent of the early aughts when bands like the Strokes, The Libertines, and The White Stripes began to write the new chapter of indie culture, Adam played an essential role in helping define this new musical and artistic sensibility.

Storefront Church Featuring Phoebe Bridgers • Words • 2022

Sparhawk said of his wife: “Hers was the voice of someone who is just singing, not trying to convince you of something. She was not singing to you. She was not singing to be noticed. Sometimes she didn’t even want to be seen. She just wanted to be.” Obituary 

Storefront Church is the project of Los Angeles–based artist Lukas Frank. He released his debut album, As We Pass, last year via Sargent House. In a statement about the Low cover, Frank wrote, “In the wake of Mimi’s passing, I’d like to dedicate this to her. Low’s music has been incredibly useful to me; it’s like an antidote to anxiety, with Mimi’s voice at the heart of it—relieving, cathartic, and honest.” PF
