I posted a proposed album from Australian folk trio Little Quirks at the beginning of the year as part of this series promoting new bands,and I mentioned in the notes that when they started out they used to busk at food markets, playing covers from The Cranberries, Of Monsters And Men, and Vance Joy. After they'd started to write their own songs they still liked to play covers for fun, often filming themselves and uploading the results to Youtube, and as their repertoire increased they included songs by Coldplay, Green Day, First Aid Kit, and Fleet Foxes, with the latter inspiring them to perform a stunning version of their 'White Winter Hymnal'. Loving the band as I do, I've been collecting these for some time now, and so I think it's about time that I shared some of them, so I've chosen my favourites from the twenty or so that they've uploaded and made this album. It's the perfect way to understand which bands have influenced the girls over the years, and they stamp their own mark on every one of these tracks. It's called simply 'Covers', so that I could adapt the artwork for their 'Cover My Eyes' EP in which to house it, and if you enjoyed their 'Devil's Ivy' album then you must hear this. If you haven't yet experienced this superb band then there's no better place to start, as this could be an easier introduction than just diving in to their self-penned material.
