Horse Feathers
Drain You (Nirvana cover)

Like many of my favourite albums, I don’t listen to Nevermind much anymore. Nevertheless, it remains a consistent listen that took such divergent influences as the Pixies, punk and pop and mixed them together to form a hook-laden collection that has had a huge influence on music over the previous two decades. Many artists have paid tribute to the songs on the album over the years and here are seven of them, beginning with a storming take on Breed by a country singer and ending with a ukulele treatment of its most famous song.

Breed (Nirvana cover) – Steve Earle
Lithium (Nirvana cover) – Pierce Turner
Drain You (Nirvana cover) – Horse Feathers
In Bloom (Nirvana cover) – Hooverphonic
Come As You Are (Nirvana cover) – Laura Love
Something in the Way (Nirvana cover) – Port O’Brien
Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana cover) – Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

how is that your voice?

This clip for “Out Getting Ribs” from Zoo Kid is beyond minimal, but completely mesmerizing. It reveals itself slowly, focusing most of its time on Archy Marshall before panning around and finally showing us his lone audience member. Marshall’s sneering performance is hypnotizing, turning what should have been a boring video into something captivating.

The video is a perfect companion to the song, a sparse affair of Marshall’s seething croon and a tricky guitar line. As a first single, “Out Getting Ribs” is quite a statement; it’s as exciting as it is surprising. Don’t be surprised if Zoo Kid amounts to big things very soon. - Matt @ musicforants.com
