While on tour in Washington, D.C., British shoe-gazers The Big Pink cut an acoustic performance of "Velvet" for the New Gay, nearly recreating the washes of sound in a back alley with a cheap acoustic guitar. This song is excellent in any and every form.
The Big Pink's A Brief History of Love is out now. [Pitchfork]
Yeah. The studio version is one of the best songs of the year for sure.
