EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Pocketknife - Get Around To It (feat. Joe Worricker) (Ray Burst Remix) (Arthur Russell Cover)
To be straight with you, I never thought I'd hear reinterpretations of the music Arthur Russell made - despite his entanglement in that world of disco edits and refixes, a lot of his music just seemed too personal and private for that. But it kind of makes sense if you think about it: if it seemed personal and private to me, then I suppose it must do for a lot of other people too. A lot of those other people - Faze Action singer Mary Moore, My Tiger My Timing and New Young Pony Club's Andy Spence among them - have banded together under the name Killer Whale to offer their own takes on some of Arthur's most seminal cuts. Here, it's the turn of Brooklyn's Pocketknife to chance his arm - along with new Rough Trade singer Joe Worricker and fellow Londoner Ray Burst. Personally, I think it works great - what do you think? Snap up the wax over at Juno or head along to the Killer Whale album launch party at London's Relentless Garage (November 27) to make your feelings known.
Sounds Like: ESG, Hercules & Love Affair, Arthur Russell
