What?s better than Deerhunter?s newest album, Microcastle? Oh, I don?t know, maybe Deerhunter covering Jay Reatard?s ?Oh, It?s Such a Shame? from his last album Blood Visions? Yes!

As we mentioned previously, the two have teamed up to cover each other’s songs on Jay’s latest Matador 7". The Deerhunter version does the brooding original justice, with some added, even darker flavor. The extra 2 minutes of freak out makes it feel like it could easily fit on their newest record…and that’s certainly nothing to be ashamed about.

Pick up the the limited edition Jay Reatard/Deerhunter split 7", which also features Jay covering Deerhunter’s "Fluorescent Grey," from Matador.
