Elliott’s songs, listening to them from the remove of this many years since his passing, always sound vaguely pissed and pointed to me. Passive aggressive attack vehicles. (Don’t get me wrong I 💙 them).
But Julien (one third of boygenius) sounds sad and regretful instead.
What an absolutely gorgeous cover.
I am clearly fond of wounded female vox taking on “damaged bad at best” indie boy rock, huh? 🤔
