Apparently we’re not the only ones having a belated moment with Jessie Ware’s “Wildest Moments” these days, as Frightened Rabbit’s Scott Hutchison just happened on the already-pared-down record, too, finding it a good fit for acoustic interpretation.

This week’s “Default Blues” is a rousing jam with a lot of promise for the future. Hear it below:
