Asher White — Casper (Jessica Pratt cover)


Why does Asher White have a record titled Jessica Pratt? Because, as it turns out, it is a full-length cover of singer-songwriter Jessica Pratt’s 2012 debut record—which happens to be self-titled. Pratt herself approves: “White’s curiously inventive renditions took me by surprise,” she said in a press release. “A broad sweep stylistically and production-wise.

Geese is a group of rockers out of New York with accolades from sites like Stereogum with titles such as “NYC’s most promising young rockers.” In this cover of “Baby,” the lead singer’s deep buttery voice adds a touch of soul, whereas the arrangement of the guitars and percussion contributes more than a dash of the 60s/70s. The end result is an unexpected, synergistic version of the tune that might have emerged from the era between doo-wop and disco. Continue reading »
