TRACK OF THE WEEK: Your Friend “Radio Silence”

blake

On Tuesday, Your Friend released a cover of James Blake’s “Radio Silence,” a haunting, dreamy rendition of the song. “I can’t believe that you don’t want to see me,” Taryn Miller repeats over and over. She leaves space for another to answer, but gets only echoes of her own thoughts that can barely be heard through a layer of thick fog. Taryn stays true to the original version’s melody, but ditches the piano for subtle sound effects that make it seem as if she recorded the song from the middle of some enchanted forest. Also credited on the song are Chase Horseman, who contributed bass, backing vocals and wurlitzer, and Teri Quinn, who played clarinet.

Your Friend released her impressive debut album, Gumption, earlier this year and is currently on tour with Kurt Vile. Check out “Radio Silence” below:
