HIGH HIGHS - Live In Dreams (Wild Nothing Cover)

With Wild Nothing being one of my favourite acts of 2010, I was always going to appreciate a cover of one of his songs, but this is one of those covers that is so good, that it is almost better than the original. The New York based folkers HIGH HIGHS, get the warmth and feel of the song just perfect: slow, dormant guitar hides underneath the more present plucking that acts as the rhythm of the song. The vocals are retracted and reverberated, perfectly completing the cover. Its an example of what we can expect from the duo, and a tribute to one of 2010’s best new musicians.

Sounds A Little Like: Wild Nothing, Prizes, Kisses, but more acoustic.
