Blaenavon have shared their performances of Harry Styles’ ‘Sign of the Times’ and Radiohead’s ‘High and Dry’.
The latter track sees them bring in a couple of friends, too – Blaine Harrison (Mystery Jets) and Marika Hackman.
“Here you have two very different covers that mean very different things to us,” says Ben Gregory. “‘Sign of the Times’ is a massive song… could be a classic, even. The lad’s got an impressive range and we fancied giving it a crack and keeping it sparse.
“‘High and Dry’ however, we wanted to go all out. We were lucky enough to be joined by two amazing musicians (Blaine from Mystery Jets and Marika Hackman) and we tried to keep it close to the original, as it’s pretty perfect as is. It’s a beautiful arrangement and I think you can hear how much we’re all enjoying it in the recording.”
The tracks precede a bunch of upcoming UK dates, including By The Sea next week, a night at London’s Garage with Mystery Jets, a headline tour, and a support run with Sundara Karma around Europe.
