Ravens & Chimes — an incredibly promising NYC band that graced our Waynestock stage earlier this year — have managed to make the title track off Echo & the Bunnymen’s moody 1984 masterpiece, Ocean Rain, their own with tender, tight-knit harmony vocals and delicate piano/synth flourishes while retaining a reverent nod to the original. Hear their take above thanks to Cokemachineglow, where you can also grab a free MP3 of the tune.
