THIS WILD LIFE // Cover Nirvana’s ‘Heart-Shaped Box’

Over-barbered Californian alt-indie duo This Wild Life have just released a cover of Nirvana classic Heart-Shaped Box, which you can stream below.

The pair released the track via Epitaph Records. The single is also available via Spotify and iTunes.

In a statement, singer and guitarist Kevin Jordan says “Growing up in the 90’s I think every kid loved Nirvana, but as I grew older I started to appreciate the songwriting and artistry more. While digging back into these old records this song really jumped out at me due to the beautiful but simultaneously haunting melody in the verses. I thought it would be a fun and challenging project to approach this song 24 years later with a dark and cathartic arrangement without the huge drums and guitars. Anthony (del Grosso) and I produced the track ourselves after our last US Tour and we hope it comes across as an ode to a songwriter who left this place far too soon.”

This Wild Life will support Mayday Parade on their Australian tour this October.

This Wild Life released latest album Low Tides in late 2016, debuting at #2 on the Alternative New Artist, #3 on the Top New Artist, and #106 on Billboard’s Top 200 Current Albums charts.
