song premiere: "Rock Bottom" - Highwayyys

Just in time to soundtrack our season of never leaving bed, comes a a collection of Modern Baseball covers. Released by The Platypus Zine, Cover Therapy features 20 Modern Baseball covers, with all proceeds going to L.E.A.D DIY, an organization working to increase epilepsy awareness in music. 

Ahead of the official December 16th release, we’re bringing you the premiere of Highwayyys’s cover of “Rock Bottom.” For their take on the track, Highwayyys keeps the song’s bouncy nature intact, but strips back the fuzz and noise of the original in favor of quiet warmth, and infectiously earnest vocals. This take proves just as inviting as its Modern Baseball original, as Highwayyys shifts from an unhurried, subtle beginning to full-on swaying strings, synths, homemade snare, and this palpable attitude of enjoyment (even the sound of laughter makes an appearance). Get lost in this one below:
