Tru Thought Covers

• Track Listing

Sister imprint unfold presents a seminal collection of Tru Thoughts artists 'covers' that have helped define the label over it's 10 year history. This compilation also includes brand new material from artists such as Quantic & his Combo Barbaro, Nostalgia 77, Lizzy Parks, Woon, Bugz in the Attic and more. 'Tru Thoughts Covers' offers a mighty selection of the most pivotal and interesting cover versions to have peppered Tru Thoughts' ten years of releases. Boasting many crossover hits from Nostalgia 77 and Alice Russell's epic take on The White Stripes; to the Quantic Soul Orchestra's version of 4hero; via The Bamboos' mod-soul reimagining of Kings of Leon; and Hot 8 Brass Band's rambunctious, world-renowned version of "Sexual Healing", taking Marvin Gaye to the Mardi Gras, in fine style. Plenty of people habitually pigeonhole music, but this album connects the songs of The White Stripes, Portishead, Marvin Gaye, 4hero, Max Sedgeley, Mr Scruff, Frank Sinatra, Kings of Leon, Fedde Le Grand, Michael Jackson, The Strokes, The Kooks, Eminem, Roni Size & Reprazents, The Quantic Soul Orchestra, Jeff Buckley, and Olive - and you sure-as-hell don't see those names appearing on the same sleeve notes every day!
