Japancakes Loveless

So you want to set up lofty, challenging, okay, in fact completely unreasonable goals for yourself? Really? Well then, why not take on a widely accepted classic. Cover a song with which, even a decade and a half down the line, much of the indie-record-buying public, your present and potential audience, have some kind of passionate (maybe personal) involvement. Or if they haven’t, then won’t be especially interested anyway. None of this bringing the lesser-known work of a master to light business will do, just shoot straight for the gold, the unimpeachable pinnacle. Hell, why stop there, why not just do the whole album while you’re at it? Of course, you’re going to be faithful to the original. Sure, change the genre around a bit, re-imagine it, but keep things close enough to make direct comparison inevitable. Yeah, this is going to be virtually impossible to pull off to anyone’s satisfaction. You are Japancakes and you are attempting to cover, in its entirety, My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless.
