I did my fair bit of complaining about Crushes (The Covers Mixtape). I was less than thrilled about a band like Mates of State, who have so many great songs of their own, performing an entire LP of the work of others. A couple years (and shows) later, I’m willing to admit it grew on me. Hearing Kori and Jason put their signature sound to songs both new and old has been welcome when I’ve played “Goods (All in Your Head)” to death. Check out a highlight of the mixtape, the classic Belle & Sebastian track “Sleep the Clock Around”, which retains the charm of the original but still has the undeniable fun of the Mates' oeuvre.
Don’t forget the free show at BAR New Haven, tonight! Mates of State and Snake Oil. Be there. Here’s the event page link: http://on.fb.me/qSZFyG
