I only really got into this Nirvana track via the ‘MTV Unplugged’ LP rather than ‘Bleach’ but both are worth investigating so I was intrigued as to hear what Chris Staples could do with such a classic. He has certainly added a bit of lounge cool to the piece so gone are every vestige of that grunge sound and in its place a rather more tropical mannerism. And it is a measure of this act’s talent that he makes it work ever so well, this is a cover that needed to happen because it not only showcases the quality of the original but how it could be reinterpreted into something that stands up in its own right. Cover of the year for me. KH
