The next track off INXS’ Kick, as covered by Beck’s latest Record Club (St. Vincent’s Annie Clark, Liars’ Angus Andrew, and Os Mutantes), just went live. Beck and Andrew share vox duties for this rendition of “Wild Life,” one of the few non-singles off Michael Hutchence, Andrew Farriss, and company’s 1987 smash LP.
This version doesn’t come close to taking my current faves (the Annie Clark-led “Need You Tonight” and Beck’s solo take on “The Loved One”) off the podium, but I suppose anyone would start to look a bit tired after covering 7 songs from this epic album. Good news: “Never Tear Us Apart” is on deck.
