Continuing the theme of disappointing covers, Belle & Sebastian did a cover of “Crash” by The Primitives that leaves me wanting to only listen to the original.
The cover is low energy, the use of piano is unappealing, and his vocals are irritating — the way he pronounces the words crash and fast is odd.

This seemingly impromptu cover by Pillowcase (below) is a lot better than Jukebox The Ghost’s — it captures the spirit of the original song better: the sense of movement, the momentum that builds, and the soaring chorus.
