Secretly Canadian has released two more new tracks for their ongoing 25th Anniversary Singles Series, also known as SC25 Singles. The first single is a cover by Current Joys of Antony and the Johnsons’ “Shake That Devil,” the second is a cover of David Bowie’s “Sorrow” by Manu Grace.
The tracks mark the 9th and 10th releases of SC25 Singles, following contributions from Jim James, Madison McFerrin, `NNAMDÏ, Beach Fossils, Skullcrusher, Green-House, Porridge Radio and Stella Donnelly
On covering Antony and the Johnsons for SC25 Singles, Current Joys’ Nick Rattigan said in a press release, “I picked ‘Shake That Devil’ because there is a folk-like quality to the song. The lyrics are simple yet profound. I think even with transforming the arrangement to an extreme, the lyrics still penetrate any form the song takes on. In between the beats, there is still a meditation on overcoming the obstacles of self.”
“‘Sorrow’ is a classic Four Chord Wonder,” added Manu Grace in the press release. “I felt it left a world of space for interpretation, in terms of instrumentation and production. I chose to keep it quite sparse, leading with the strong vocal melody and storytelling of the original, and creating space around the main vocals. There are three songs that I associate with my mother – those songs that somehow hold so much, in terms of memory and connection. ‘Sorrow’ is one of them. I’m pretty sure music is my love language, and I’m even more certain that it isn’t hers, so on the rare occasion that we connect over music, it feels especially magic.”
