Can you think of a combination any more twee than The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart covering The Magnetic Fields? Perhaps that part in 500 Days Of Summer where Zooey Deschanel sings The Smiths. Unlike the latter moment however, this version – available below – doesn’t actually make you want to gouge out your eyes and just stop your ears from working.
And there’s even an amazing electric guitar solo around the 2.25 mark. Listen to ‘Jeremy’ below:
‘Jeremy’ is out 9 October on Slumberland.
