about

We’re extremely picky about covers. It’s a hard business: you’re showing a lot of nerve covering some of these artists and you want to simultaneously be faithful and show how the cover makes perfect sense for you as an artist. With the 80s moody post-rock vibe we were summoning on FUTURE MIRROR, Joy Division became the obvious choice. 

We’d always wanted to do something by Joy Division, but were never sure what; after a long deliberation we tried “New Dawn Fades.” It came together in less time than our discussion of what to cover. Again, a deceptively simple song that depends totally on the band’s control of intensity.

“New Dawn Fades” was a joy to record (no pun intended…well, maybe a little intended) and a great set closer. By the time you get to the last chorus, you totally understand the impulse to smash a guitar on stage. The intensity peaks so hard, there’s truly nowhere else to go.
