Victoria Bergsman just released one of the most beautiful albums of 2009 so it’s no surprise that this cover of Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Sweet Child Of Mine’ is equally as stunning. She released the song last year on 7″ vinyl. Bergsman is no stranger to recording covers, her previous band The Concretes recorded excellent covers of The Rolling Stones’ ‘Miss You’ and Take That’s ‘Back For Good’, but nothing quite compares to this one.

From Brooklyn, New York, Pet Ghost Project has made a tactful take on Pavement’s ‘Box Elder’ and they’ve keep it pretty true to the original, adding just a slight touch of acoustic twee. In Pavement news: the band has announced they are reforming for a show in New York in September, 2010. No other dates or album details have been announced.

Earlier this year a whole bunch of musicians/bands, including Metronomy, The Mystery Jets, Dinosaur Jr and The Big Pink contributed covers to an album paying tribute to The Cure. Art Brut was also included, doing a cover of ‘Catch’ which originally appeared on The Cure’s 1987 double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.
Randy Randall and Dean Spunt took a totally different approach to this song when they recorded it back in 2008. Bjork’s original version of ‘It’s Oh So Quite’ was backed by a full orchestra, but the LA duo took an axe to that idea, instead smashing it to pieces with their minimal guitar and drums set-up. No Age’s version appeared on a Stereogum compilation paying tribute to the Icelandic queen. The original version was responsible for breaking Bjork into the American pop market, largely thanks to the Spike Jonze-directed video that accompanied it. Strangely the song itself is actually a cover, Bjork renamed Betty Hutton’s ‘Blow A Fuse’ from 1946(?).
