Peking Duk feat. Julia Stone – Fall At Your Feet [Triple J Like A Version]
âLike A Versionâ is a segment on Australian radio station Triple J. Every week a musician or band performs one of their own tunes and a cover of a song they love. The latter often ends up being a stunning and quite different take on a well-known song. This is a great example.
In March this year, Canberra natives Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles (a.k.a. Peking Duk) were invited back into the studio. They did their own song Spend It, originally featuring Circa Waves, with guest vocals from upcoming Aussie singer Dean Brady. However, the session will forever be reminded for their stunning version of Crowded Houseâs Fall At Your Feet. Who wouldâve thought this beautiful track could be transformed into a sure-fire floor-filler? Thatâs exactly what Peking Duk did, with help from Julia Stone (of Big Jet Plane fame) and Dean Brady.
True to their party-vibe style, the dynamic duo and their well-chosen guests  delivered an anthemic and rousing cover of the 1991 classic. Adding bright synths, a booming beat and energy-drenched group vocals in the chorus, they created a classic of their own. Eight months after the recording session, this version is now released as a single by popular demand.
Peking Duk & Julia Stoneâs interpretation of Fall At Your Feet is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Ronald Maas – Lines In The Darkness
Ronald Maas has always been a sideman, so you may not have heard his name before. But donât be mistaken, over the last two decades he has played over 1000 gigs with a huge variety of bands and projects, recorded some 40 albums, EP’s and singles and toured all over Europe.
His best-known projects are probably Dutch bands Number Nine and Audio Adam. In the summer of 2015 Maas moved to London, where he joined the band Jaya, whose single Love Is A Bird I wrote about earlier. Although Jaya is his musical priority, he managed to self-produce the concept EP Aries, ahead of an album thatâs scheduled for release somewhere in 2019.
The four-track EP is available now. It features Jaya drummer Stefano Magini, but Maas can be heard on vocals, grand piano, Hohner Pianet, Roland F-20, guitars, bass guitars, and percussion. He is also responsible for all compositions, lyrics, production and engineering.
Lines In The Darkness is the single and this very well executed live version is the official video.

She Drew The Gun – Sweet Harmony
She Drew The Gun started in 2013 as a solo project by singer-songwriter Louisa Roach. Her debut album Memories Of The Future (2015) was produced by James Skelly, who added haunting riffs and an electronic element to Roachâs poetic narrative lyrics.
Since then, the project gradually expanded. SiĂąn Monaghan (drums), Jack Turner (guitar) and Jenni Kickhefer (keyboards) joined, and made She Drew The Gun the four-piece it currently is.
In 2016, they won Glastonburyâs Emerging Talent Competition and subsequently played the John Peel Stage at the legendary festival. And recently, as part of the â25 Years of Parr Street Studiosâ project, they recorded a cover version of The Belovedâs 1993 smash Sweet Harmony. Or actually, they re-invented it. Adding a rap and a far more rocky vibe than the sugar-coated original, She Drew The Gunâs version sounds like a song of their own.

a-ha feat. Ingrid Helene HĂ„vik – The Sun Always Shines On TV (MTV Unplugged)
From no other artist I attended as many âfarewell toursâ as from a-ha. And luckily, they decided to extend their career even further.
Last summer, on 22 and 23 June, the band played MTV Unplugged sessions at Ăygardshallen (Giske Harbour Hall) on the Norwegian island of Giske, which will be released 6 October on the live CD/DVD/Blu-ray Summer Solstice. A-ha was accompanied on stage by Ian McCulloch (Echo & The Bunnymen), Ingrid Helene HĂ„vik (Highasakite), Lissie and Alison Moyet.
Among the 21-song setlist were two brand new tracks (one of which, This Is Our Home, is released as a single) and stripped down performances of all of the bandâs classic tracks. One of these, a re-arranged version of The Sun Always Shines On TV, featuring additional vocals by Ingrid Helene HĂ„vik, has been released as a single as well.
Following these MTV Unplugged sessions a-ha will go on an acoustic tour throughout 2018. Their third farewell tour? ?

Jade Bird – Cathedral
Jade Bird is only 19 and already a rising star in the London music scene. She started by singing covers of songs by the likes of Pixies, BeyoncĂ© and Drake and just released her debut EP Something American, recorded in⊠well, the title explainsâŠ
The EP contains five original tracks, combining pop, rock, blues, country and r&b. And Jade assembled not the least musicians to play on it. You can hear Sara Lee (who worked with The B-52âs, Indigo Girls and many others) on bass and Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm) on guitar.
Cathedral is the lead single off the EP.
If you wonder if she can pull it off live, this is a one-taker, recorded in the Dreamland Studios in New York:

single track, tribute
The The – We Canât Stop Whatâs Coming
One of the highlights of Record Store Day 2017 was The Theâs first new single in 15 years. We Canât Stop Whatâs Coming is a tribute to The The frontman (and only constant member) Matt Johnsonâs brother Andrew, who designed many of the bandâs record sleeves and who passed away last year. Itâs the third time Johnson wrote a song about the death of a close family member, after Love Is Stronger Than Death (for his brother Eugene) and Phantom Walls for his mother).
We Canât Stop Whatâs Coming features former The The members Johnny Marr, Zeke Manyika and James Eller, on guitar, percussion and bass respectively. The female vocalist is Meja Kullertsen. The song was recorded live in one take during Matt Johnsonâs first performance in 15 years, on his own radio station.
After quickly selling out the always too low number of vinyl 7â-es (2000 copies, not kidding), the track has now also been made available via streaming services.

album track
TANA – Why Canât I Love You (Live)
If you like TANAâs song Leave Away like I do, itâs good to know the Ukrainian band (whose name is short for âThe Active New Atmospheric music bandâ) has a complete EP out now. The EP Broken features six electronic pop tracks, covering subgenres like future bass, electronic chill-out and downtempo. It includes the singles Broken and Leave Away. If you love acts like Disclosure and Flume, this is certainly worth checking out.
You can find all EP tracks on TANAâs YouTube channel. Like they did for Leave Away, the band also released a live video for the track Why Canât I Love You. Further proof that the band can also pull it off on stage.
Talking of which: TANA will present the tracks of its first EP on 2 June during a concert in Ătlas, one of the most popular music venues in Kiev. The concert is announced on billboards (pictured) throughout the city, proudly labelled with the logo of media partner Carte Blanche Music đ .

border breaker, single track
Rat Boy – Revolution
Sooner or later, Rat Boy will break through big time. 21-year-old Jordan Cardy has the same swagger as his musical heroes Blur and Babyshambles (he signed to the same label as well), while he also cites The Beastie Boys and Kasabian as his influences. Personally, I also hear a younger Fatboy Slim in some of his songs. In Move, for example.
Other fine tunes of his are Wasteman and Get Over It (2016âs summer hit that never was), and now, heâs back with Revolution. I expect it to enter the European Border Breakers Chart soon, but today itâs on Carte Blanche Music already.
They also pull it off live, by the wayâŠ
