Cover Charge #34 - Sia to The Church

Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop back to where I started, Ouroboros-style.

Last time: Damien Rice to Sia

Time to see if we can get this series back into more familiar New Amusements territory. So here's Sia with a fairly Straight Bat cover of her fellow Australians, The Church. She recorded and released Under The Milky Way as a non-album single in 2010. Here 'tis.

And here, from 1988, is The Church's original. This was the second track on Starfish, the album that almost made them much, much bigger than the weird and slightly gloomy psychedelic/goth/indie/rock hybrid outsider outfit they always were. I listened to them a lot back in the day, and still have a lot of time for how this sounds.

Next time: The Church beat about the bush...

The Cover Charge "chain" to date.
