COVERED, Vol. 1

Ashley here. If you’ve ever come into the shop and chatted music with me, you likely already know that my favorite genre of music (if we can even call it that) is Covers … especially when ethereal or quirky. And while NOBODY will ever do it like Dolores (though my older brother would certainly disagree as forever an epic battle ensued between he, tragically not a fan, and my 6th grade walkman that maybe liked to “Linger” a little too long on the Cranberries for his liking) … the Freedom Fry cover version here is pretty darn dreamy. All that to say, I did a little thing and collected some vintage, and compiled some covers ... the first volume of many, many. Remember this is my favorite genre? And so: a fine pairing of handpicked vintage + musical remakes for your listening + wearing delight! After all, the best things in life should be, ever and always, reduced, reused, recycled ... nothing new under the sun, girls! The Covered Vintage Collection can be found below, or here, and the full Spotify playlist over here. It's a rather sweet 16.
