The Dandy Warhols have released another track from their upcoming all covers album. (You may recall last month the group releasing their cover of the Violent Femmes’ “Kiss Off.”) Now, they’re releasing their take on The Damned‘s “Love Song.”
This take on the 1979 classic is much more of an interpretation than a straight-ahead cover. (I can’t imagine Captain Sensible, et al. wanting to use synths and drum machines in 1979.) However, with the new take on it, the quality of the songwriting stands out, showing how well-constructed a song it really is.
A fun music video featuring a couple of dominatrices and a few floggers was released as well.
Pin Ups, the Dandys’ cover album will be released on March 20th. The upcoming record will also feature covers of songs by the Runaways, the Cramps, the Beatles and Bob Dylan.
