Free Download: Covers – Nightlands

Nightlands, the bedroom-pop side project of The War on Drugs bassist Dave Hartley, has given us one more thing to dream about via his recently-released free digital single, Covers. Recorded during his travels, Covers features his lulling, swoon-sweet take on Lindsey Buckingham’s 1981 classic "Trouble", plus his disquieting version of Scott Walker’s "Big Louise". You can download it now HERE.

Nightlands will also hit the road for a North American tour with Norwegian indie singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche starting May 31 in Toronto (with a stop in Philly at World Cafe Live on June 3). And it’ll be a busy time for Hartley–not only will he be opening as Nightlands for Lerche, he’ll also play bass in his band for the tour. You can check out the rest of the dates below. – The Deli Staff
