With all the big news dropping this week so far, now feels like a good “eye of the storm” to appreciate this understated gem from Winter Took His Life: a forlorn, slow-burning acoustic take on Tegan and Sara’s ‘07 The Con single “Back In Your Head,” released as a free MP3 this spring. WTHL’s Susanna Brandin is working on a new record under that moniker as well as an LP with the band Hunt, but in the meantime, she shared this heartfelt track alongside a similarly stripped down, hushed cover of Billie the Vision & the Dancers’ “My Love,” featured on a bonus disc to their new best-of comp mentioned in July. Both cuts are gorgeous and well worth taking a quiet, peaceful moment.
