Austra puts a completely different spin on Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” and the results are incredible. I’ve been listening on loop.

They do great covers (and originals, too). They gonna blow up soon. Mark my words.

It’s been four years since the movie “Once” came out, and Glen Hansard’s still got it. At first this sounds like a general acoustic cover, but it becomes so fast-paced and emotional. Even though Hansard doesn’t stray too much from his emotive acoustics, the dude can strum a guitar.

A nice, downbeat version of the Tom Petty classic.

“Too Little Too Late” originally by Jojo

It actually turns something stupid into something incredible.

Absolutely amazing. What talent.
