The Endless Coloured Ways: The Songs of Nick Drake [Grey Vinyl] (LP)
Various Artists
Amoeba Review
Artists from a variety of genres tackle Nick Drake's remarkable catalog on The Endless Coloured Ways: The Songs of Nick Drake. This is a meaty album, with each act offering their own take on Drake's works, while staying true to the ethos of the original. Highlights include the pastoral loveliness of Katherine Priddy's "I Think They're Leaving Me Behind," the propulsive psychedelia of John Parish and Aldous Harding's "Three Hours," and John Grant's brooding synth track "Day Is Done." Some covers albums feel like color-by-numbers releases: not so The Endless Coloured Ways. These interpretations are dynamic and atmospheric, a fitting tribute to the inimitable Nick Drake.
