Stripped of its Old West saloon-style pianos, ambling bass line and orchestral underpinnings, “The Suburbs” proves beautifully bleak and subdued, just the way Misty likes it. —China Reevers, With Regina Spektor’s soft whisper singing and the stellar piano arrangement of this OK Computer cut, it sounds as if the song was written just for her. Where the original’s finale seems hopeful that maybe, just maybe, Hutchison’s ex will give him one more chance (“You should sit with me and we’ll start again / And you can tell me all about what you did today”), Baker’s version knows the answer and you can hear it in her voice, distant and longing.

One of two covers on LCD Soundsystem’s Electric Lady Sessions compilation released earlier this year, “Seconds” maintains the swarmy dark wave of the original, and Murphy using the same fuzzed-out vocal distortions, but LCD Soundsystem’s analog operations give the cover a gritty feel. “Moon River” was composed by Henry Mancini, and it won an Oscar for Audrey Hepburn’s famous performance of the track in the film.

While it’s unclear how Hope Sandoval felt about Mascis’ “Fade Into You,” a cover that doesn’t necessarily one-up Mazzy Star’s original but definitely adds a completely different flavor to it, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say she was pleased by it. Adding the line “to love someone” following the lilting Cobain refrain of “knows not what it means” is a stroke of resolve in the face of the apathetic “meh” of the original, turning a classic touchstone of ‘90s grunge into something altogether cheerier. cover) “Down On Me” – Jeremih 77.

When one of the most lush voices in indie rock today takes on a modern classic in a similarly graceful vein, there’s nothing to worry about. —Lizzie Manno, I was recently informed that Charles Bradley’s “Changes” is, in fact, a cover, and a Black Sabbath cover, no less.

Liam Clancy may have died last year, but Erland and the Carnival carry the Irish folk torch high (despite being, technically, from London).

The End of the World (Skeeter Davis cover) It’s that good. The existential doubt in Tim Buckley’s telling of the Odyssey takes the helm in this banjo-led cover.
