MP3 White Hinterland Covers Arthur Russell and Justin Timberlake (We Like the Arthur Russell Song More)
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 9:54 AM
If you've ever read the delicious twitter feed of Portlander Casey Dienel (that's White Hinterland to you) it's abundantly clear that music is not her only love:
ok, made this: duck magret w/ sherry glaze, morrocan saffron cauliflower, roasted sweet peppers w/ goat cheese and chicken of woods mushroom
Turns out that Dienel can really cook, which makes the title of White Hinterland's new tour EP quite fitting: Fresh From the Garden. While there is no recipe book in the liner notes, the EP does include a pair of tastefully done covers from the overappreciated Justin Timberlake and the underappreciated Arthur Russell. The Timberlake cover ("My Love") sounds like it was recorded in an abandoned well, complete with Morse code percussion, while her take on "Lucky Cloud" is adorably sweet and sincere, borrowing just enough from the original to make any listener appreciate the genius of Russell.
