Setting Sun Forever Young
// 30th June
It seems that the first week or so of printings of Eskimo Joe’s new album has track five listed as Forever Young. Subsequent printings of the cover art list track five as Setting Sun. Same song, new name. Bizarre. Maybe they didn’t want it to be confused with that song. Which version do you have?
Speaking of versions, I got Like A Version, Version Two.
It has a cover of the Jebediah song Monument, by Gyroscope. This cover is one of my favourite songs of all time. I can just feel the tears of frustration welling in his eyes as he pleads, “I’m supposed to be the one you want”.
It also has the now famous cover of I Was Only 19 by The Herd, which I initially didn’t like all that much, but now realise is pure, pure genius.
Some other tracks that are worth a note are Sophie Koh attempting to cover Creep without knowing the words (yet she still pulls it off okay), Evermore’s appalling rendition of Little Birdy’s Relapse, and some gems by The Mountain Goats, Kate Miller-Heidke, Spoon, and The Eels.
The songs tend to be stripped back, and acoustic, due to them being recorded in a single take in the Triple J studios, which just makes them all the more … good. So if you’re a fan of Aussie music, covers, or lo-fi, you’ll love it all the more.
You look like a feather
In the beautiful world
You’re so special
So very special
