Christopher Owens and his cohorts in Girls are great at taking sunny pop melodies and imbuing them with a world-weary sadness. So the heartbreaking 1962 Skeeter Davis song "End of the World" seems a perfect track for them to cover. Slowed and drenched in reverb, Owens' fractured voice gives the melody an extra dose of poignancy. The Girls take on "End of the World" is seeing release as the B-side to the upcoming "Morning Light" single, due February 22 on Fantasytrashcan/Turnstile in the UK. (via NME)
