To coincide with this, SLUG have released a brand new track covering Kate Bush. Ian & co. have reinterpreted ‘The Big Sky.’ Ian Black explains:

“The approach was not try to match the majestic original (for I would have lost… badly) and have some fun with it. It has Rundgren pianos, daft synthesisers, a Led Zeppelin breakdown and myself struggling with the vocal delivery that only Kate would be able to pull off so brilliantly. Hope you enjoy it.”
