Taking a little trip through the catalogs of some of the underground's most cherished artists,
JEFF the Brotherhood offer up an EP of covers with
Dig the Classics. Diving into songs by
the Pixies,
My Bloody Valentine,
the Wipers,
Teenage Fanclub,
Colleen Green, and
Beck,
JEFF the Brotherhood put their own spin on every song as they adapt them to their own stripped-down style. This makes for interesting takes on songs like "Gouge Away," where
Frank Black's furious wails and jangly guitars are replaced by a heavier, more laid-back vibe. It's interesting to hear how
JEFF the Brotherhood pay homage to the originals while making these songs their own, though the limited pressing and odd track selection mean this one is more for die-hard fans than casual listeners. ~ Gregory Heaney
