Metz have made three cover versions previously released as a bonus 7” with the vinyl LP of Automat available digitally.
The covers are of Sparklehorse’s Pig, I’m a Bug by The Urinals and Gary Numan’s M.E. – a video for the latter, illustrated by Kirin Booth and animated by Martin MacPherson, has also been premiered.
