Currently in the midst of a US tour, Guster managed to find the time to release a cover of “Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying,” and early ’70s tune by singer-songwriter Labi Siffre.

“The Great Algorithm In The Sky™ dropped a doozy on me years ago- ‘Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying,’” Guster’s Ryan Miller said of the tune. “Not to give too much credit as anything with a one/zero knows I’m a sucker for simple, powerfully delivered, delicate undiscovered 70’s jams. What I DIDN’T anticipate was how much this quiet protest song would crawl into my skin. Labi, raised as a Catholic but outspoken as both an atheist and as a gay man, manages to convey the struggle of identity and romance and longing in a few short bars. This one is in the tower of song.”
