Amanda Palmer teams up with Brendan Maclean to cover Bat For Lashes' heartfelt opus "Laura".
"Laura" appears on 2012 record The Haunted Man. Palmer and Australian musician Maclean have given it an atmospheric rework - read an accompanying letter from the pair explaining the cover and emotions behind it.
The duo performed the track in 2014 at the Sydney Festival, but this is the first time we've had the studio edition out in the wild.
