St. Vincent Covers Brian Eno – “Some of Them Are Old”


According to a recent interview with the WSJ, St. Vincent’s Annie Clark will begin recording her follow-up to 2009’s Actor next month with hopes to release an LP later this year. In addition to her solo work, however, Clark and David Byrne are “about four songs” in to the collaborative project that the ex-Talking Heads leader blogged about last year. With those two releases on the horizon, now’s a perfect opportunity to check out a cover that Clark unveiled at two recent events: “Some of Them Are Old,” a cut off Byrne pal Brian Eno’s classic solo debut, Here Come the Warm Jets. Hear a piano-backed take from last month’s Burgundy Stain Sessions alongside Sam Amidon, Doveman, and others below (via Sonic Smörgåsbord), and enjoy Clark’s stunning solo rendition from SLC’s Sundance Film Festival in January above (via YouTube).
