Glasgow’s Walt Disco today release the second in a series of covers of their favourite artists, due to form the Always Sickening EP out November 25th, a brooding reimagining of the 1980 Stephanie Mills R&B classic “Never Knew Love Like This Before“. The EP also includes covers of Aldous Harding, The Japanese House, The Associates and Dusty Springfield. This month, the band embarked on their first run of US headline shows before returning to the UK for further dates, including a show tonight at London’s Heaven with label-mates HMLTD.
Singer Jocelyn Potter on ‘Never Knew Love This Before’; “I think this might be my favourite cover from our wee EP, singing it was a delight and I think you can hear how much fun I was having. We had so much fun studying and taking apart the music, it was absolutely fascinating and we were really in awe of its mastery. Turning the improvised vocal runs into a choral part at the end felt amazing and I love listening to what we ended up with. It’s a honour to sing one of the greatest love songs ever written, that perfectly sums up the all consuming nature of loving someone with every inch of your being”
