One of my favourite artists of the past few years, How To Dress Well, has donated a splendid cover of Xiu Xiu’s Clowne Towne to blog start-up project Ad Hoc.
His rendition of the 2004 track is sparse and elegant, with his dreamy vocals taking the reins and removing the rougher edges found on Xiu Xiu’s version. With a new album expected later this year, Clowne Towne marks the start of what will hopefully be a prolific year for the songwriter. Check out Clowne Towne below and purchase it by donating to the Ad Hoc kickstarter.
