80’s icons Missing Persons have released a new album called Dreaming that contains mostly cover songs with a few new originals. The covers include versions of songs from Rolling Stones, The The, Joy Division, The Cars and The The. Given that wealth of material, I was surprised to find that my favorite track on the album was the brand new song called Dreaming which sounds like early OMD music combined with Johnny Jewel’s Desire.

The versions of Love Will Tear Us Apart and Just What I Needed had a very dark tone to them, and felt a bit out of place for the still amazing vocals of Dale Bozzio. My favorite cover was probably the version of The Animal’s We Gotta Get Out Of This Place that had a Gary Numan style to it.
