Ex Lovers hoist up the flag for ‘Track Of The Day’ with an cheeky cover of Chris Isaak’s lovelorn lament ‘Wicked Game’.
Cover versions. In the right hands a means of using someone else’s art to express your own emotions. In the wrong hands… a travesty could occur (check out Susan Boyle’s hip shaking Stones monstrosity).
Ex Lovers are a rapidly emerging indie group from London. Continually touring brought the group to the attention of hip imprints such as Chess Club and Young & Lost Club.
Playing nationwide tours the group have supported supported Reading pop bandits Pete & The Pirates and played on the high profile Levis Ones To Watch jaunt.
Settling back into studio life to work on their forthcoming debut album, Ex Lovers have laid down a wicked cover that may strike notes of nostalgia in some readers. Yep, Southern gentleman and 90s heart throb Chris Isaak gets a once over, with his ‘Wicked Game’ being turned into a cheeky indie anthem.
