All For the Best

Thom Yorke

Miracle Legion has been on my mind since yesterday’s track, and this Thom Yorke cover is so good — that startling :28 guitar riff at 1:56? It should be too much but it’s perfect. And those layered harmonies and spiking percussion during the last 1:40 are haunting and sublime. This is the first track on a 2009 compilation called CIAO MY SHINING STAR the songs of Mark Mulcahy. It features a ridiculous roster of amazing artists contributing inspired covers.
