Dirt Buyer – “My Life’s All Right” (Shira Small Cover)
Dirt Buyer taking a track from 1974 and running it through an emo filter sounds like exactly the kind of left field reinterpretation that keeps us interested in what artists are doing with covers these days. There's something genuinely intriguing about what happens when you drag a jazz standard into a completely different emotional space, especially when it's coming from a label with Bayonet's taste level curating the whole project. If you're the sort who reckons the best covers aren't just faithful recreations but genuine reinventions, this Numero Group series seems worth keeping an eye on. Cledvibes Radio listeners tend to appreciate that kind of creative restlessness.
From Stereogum: Earlier this year, Bayonet launched a series where artists from their roster cover a song from The Numero Group catalog. The fourth installment is out today and has Dirt Buyer putting an emo spin on Shira Small's 1974 jazz gem "My Life's All Right." The post Dirt Buyer – “My Life’s All Right” (Shira Small Cover) appeared first on Stereogum.
