Headless Heroes, The Silence of Love
Label: BBE

How do you make angst sound beautiful? Take an eclectic blend of some favorite sad songs from the past few decades and add silky smooth vocals by folksinger Alela Diane. The result is Headless Heroes'haunting covers album, which features new interpretations of tracks by the likes of The Jesus and Mary Chain and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Be sure to check out Diane's version of the Daniel Johnston classic, "True Love Will Find You in the End," which is devastating and lovely all at once.

i am kloot's "to you" cover hooked me immediately. the song particularly has so many musical elements to it - i couldn't have imagined anyone performing a better cover. fantastic album... there are a litany of songs that I would love to hear as a follow-up album

Lovely covers

Alela Diane is singing, which is recommendation enough for me, but it's also a lovely collection of indie covers, like Daniel Johnson's "True Love Will Find You" and Jesus and Mary Chain's "Just Like Honey."
