Marcus Mumford and Vaccines frontman Justin Young have teamed up to record a series of covers for the latest edition of the online Daytrotter series.
The two resultant tracks, covers of Neil Young‘s ‘Like A Hurricane‘ and Bob Dylan‘s ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright‘, are expected to emerge on the Daytrotter website next month, and were made possible during Mumford & Sons‘ Stopover event in Ohio, of which The Vaccines were a part.
“It was about 2am in Troy, Ohio Saturday night when Marcus plucked Justin out of the waterpark pool on the Stopover grounds – the after party was raging ’til 4 am there – to come on up to the un-airconditioned Troy High School auditorium to record ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright’ and ‘Like A Hurricane’, learning them on the spot, while we, along with the exhausted superintendent of the school and his family looked on from the back row,” Daytrotter founder Sean Moeller tells NME.
“Then we all went to the after-after party, smoked cigars, and got twice as smashed at The Leaf & Vine, in a ghostly town square.”
