Japancakes

Yes, Japancakes are covering My Bloody Valentine's masterpiece and no, it's not like one of those Pickin' on the Beatles albums where some guy in a bolo tie hams up British invasion classics on his pedal steel. Japancakes' instrumental offering is more complimentary than corny. The steel guitar and string section beautifully approximate Belinda Butcher's airy vocals and Kevin Shields' innovative guitar melodies. Piano, Mellotron and drums round out songs like "To Here Knows When." Of course it's not as good as the original. It's not supposed to be. It's a tribute -- an awesome one at that.
