Some Guilt By Association Comments
August 14th, 2007 by Engine Room Recordings | Subscribe To The News Feed [ News]
A few early comments on Guilt By Association from some awesome publications below.
“Despite the suggestive title, GUILT BY ASSOCIATION is more elegy than irony and offers a primer on how to cover songs successfully…These covers strip the studio sheen from the originals and expose the song underneath, then cast them in radical new forms.” -Harp Magazine
“Luna’s take on Paula Abdul’s ‘Straight Up’ is a woozy, soul-jazz seduction song; Mike Watt turns Blue Oyster Cults ‘Burnin’ For You’ into a smoky, blues-punk dirge; and Superchunk transform the Destiny’s Child number ‘Say My Name’ into a fuzzy, noisy rock nugget.” -Alternative Press
“Irony is not dead, as evidenced by this hot compilation…Amazingly satisfying.”
-Preen Magazine
“[A] beguiling collection of guilty-pleasure covers…We defy you to listen to Devendra Banhart warble ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ without smiling.” -Radar Magazine
Guilt By Association is now available from Insound, Amazon and our good friends over at Bullmoose
