MATES OF STATE COVERS ALBUM AND FREE DOWNLOAD


This summer, the married indie pop duo Mates of State will release their very own "The Spaghetti Incident?". Crushes (The Covers Mixtape), their album of covers, was recorded and produced by Jason Hammel and Kori Gardner themselves. The LP includes versions of songs by Belle and Sebastian, Death Cab for Cutie, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and (somewhat shockingly) the Mars Volta.

Over on the duo's website, you can stream and download (in exchange for an email) the album's opener, the Mates of State take on Girls' "Laura". It involves DJ scratching and it sounds absolutely nothing like the original.

The Crushes tracklist is below.
Crushes (The Covers Mixtape):

01 Laura (Girls)
02 Son et Lumiere (The Mars Volta)
03 Sleep the Clock Around (Belle and Sebastian)
04 Technicolor Girls (Death Cab for Cutie)
05 Long Way Home (Tom Waits)
06 Love Letter (Nick Cave)
07 Second Hand News (Fleetwood Mac)
08 17 Pink Sugar Elephants (Vashti Bunyan)
09 Roller Coaster Ride (Dear Nora)
10 True Love Will Find You in the End (Daniel Johnston)
