“Dress Up” Covers EP and Release Show!
We’re in the studio this week, finishing mixes on Dress Up, our new EP of covers. It’s been good fun, though also intimidating as hell at times, to step up to this collection of songs that we’ve long loved and give them an honest barebones LS treatment. With the exception of the song for the Crewdson film, which we did with the band, each track (from The Cure, Sun Kil Moon, Chris Whitley and even dear Hem) was recorded live: two guitars, two vocals, no overdubs and no tomfoolery. And no frilly things to drape over the rough spots. We really, really love the way this record has come together and can’t wait to share it. Come hear us at Sycamore in Brooklyn on 4/27 for a record release show!

New Song for Gregory Crewdson Documentary
The band was in the studio in February to record this cover of the Speedies’ “Let Me Take Your Photo” for a new film from our friend Ben Shapiro called Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters.
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
The track, which was written by Crewdson’s band growing up, closes the movie out as credits roll, and it was lotsa fun. Want to hear the original? Believe us, you do. Here.
The film is gorgeous, and was premiered at SXSW this year. Here’s some info. Get yourself to a screening, and stay settled in your seats to hear Little Silver croon as the end credits roll.
Little Silver is in LOOOOVE
Paste Magazine has us pegged as “Musical Sweethearts” and included us in their Valentine’s Day Special here. Very cute. We can’t help but notice that all the other couples look totally smitten, while we look like we’re stewing something. We can’t recall if we were….
Chris Whitley cover | Sneak-peek listen from “Dress-Up”!
We’ve got a new EP coming out early in the New Year, a covers record called Dress-Up! We’re wracking ourselves a little to do the songs that we love some decent justice — to cast them in a new and personal light, as one would hope anyone tries to do when stepping up to a cover. And so the set list has changed a little over the months, as we cry “uncle” to some songs, and others that we didn’t even expect to do so fall together easily. “Dirt Floor” is one song we’ve had our sites on for years (and one our good friends Ollabelle took for a great ride this year too). Cover Me just ran a nice piece about the track, and is offering it as a free download as well. Check out the story (and hear the song!) here.
