A collection of skeletal, tape-hiss-drenched covers that transform familiar pop melodies into fragile, haunting bedroom folk. Every note feels like a secret.

Covers Collection 2013 is a masterclass in the 'found footage' aesthetic of indie folk. It sounds less like a professional recording and more like a cassette tape found in the back of a drawer, containing the private, late-night musings of someone who can only express themselves through the words of others. The production is aggressively lo-fi, with tape hiss and room noise acting as essential textures that wrap around the skeletal acoustic arrangements. It is intimate to the point of being slightly uncomfortable, as if you are eavesdropping on a rehearsal that was never meant for public ears.

Nostalgic saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
