As I mentioned earlier in the month, the Dirty Three have a new LP dropping in February. My copy has been on repeat, but revisiting the Melbourne trio’s last output – 2005′s Cinder – I was reminded how I used to imagine what the album’s cornerstone track, “Great Waves,” would sound like with Will Oldham handling the vocals in place of Chan Marshall (yes, I think about this sort of thing). Aesthetically the fit seems perfect.
That would be a truly excellent cover.
