Quick! (Magnetic Fields cover) by cuthbert & henwrench

[cuthbert]

...or, Love In A Trash Can  

After receiving my first notice from the henwrench collection agency, I'm finally letting getting this one out...

I hadn't even heard of this song before henwrench sent me a message saying we should cover it. After I checked out the video, I had to agree! There was an Unplugged2 fest going on around this time, so that may be why I chose all acoustic instruments for the backing before sending it back to henwrench for his excellent bass and backing vocals.

I really wanted to get this out much earlier, but work got in the way again   and I couldn't find much time to finish the vocals and final mixing until now.

Thanks for listening,
cuthbert

Fabulous! I love that rhythm track. Very imaginative. Great vocals too. And a cool song. I didn't think I'd heard it before but I checked out the video on YouTube and it looked familiar. Maybe henny or someone else here posted it before; perhaps in the "What are you listening to right now?" topic. Anyway, great work guys. I love this.

Great cover. Love the vocal harmonies.
