Wilsen‘s new single, “Dusk,” has been in the queue for a few weeks now, but it’s a good thing we waited, as today brings the perfect pairing for that dream-folk gem. The NYC group’s hushed take on “Oblivion” also marks a second Grimes cover of note this week, following yesterday’s impressive take from Katie and Allison Crutchfield. Both of these do Claire Boucher’s 2012 tune justice in decidedly different ways: the Crutchfield sisters reimagine it as a raw and jangly garage-rock jam, while Tamsin Wilson & Co. numb its edges into a calming bedtime lullaby. A single for the original cut arrives on June 10th — hear the B-side above and A-side below:
