A Lana Del Rey cover - Million Dollar Man
So apparently Alice Jemima is the next sensation. I actually only clicked on her on Hype Machine because I misread her name as Aunt Jemima and I was horrified and curious all at once. I like her voice. It reminds me of Emiliana Torrini in this song. I haven’t heard anything else from her yet…
Sister Crayon - Futile Devices (Sufjan Stevens Cover)
Sister Crayon are a group based out of Sacramento led by vocalist Terra Lopez. The group have boldly covered a stripped back version of Sufjan Stevens’ (pictured) Futile Devices.
The original song was taken from Steven’s The Age of Adz album - An apocalyptic, transformative recording experience.
While it would be impossible to outdo Steven’s on his own song, Sister Crayon do an exceptional job covering the album opener. They also don’t stray too far from the original and keep with the songwriter’s subdues, introverted style.
