A Faulty Chromosome - Our Druthers Is To Be Smothered Under 120-Thread Count Covers! (They're Giving It Away No. 16)


Not only have A Faulty Chromosome made my favourite album of last year, now they have made the best "covers" album I've heard in recent memory. Five Magnetic Fields covers three of which are from the "House Of Tomorrow" EP and a amazing cover of a song from a band called Triple Fast Action who I never heard before. Best of all is the cover of Arthur Russell's "Arm Around You". The Ruby Suns have also covered this song, but by their owe admission, it's very similer to the orginal. Hear The Ruby Suns - Arm Around You Here. The A Faulty Chromosome version flitters and sways you around and around, its dark so dark in fact but still has hope, I supposts thats what draw me into Arthur Russell's music in the first place.
Here's a vid for one of the Magnetic Fields songs covered.
