2020's latest curveball? Dashboard Confessional covering Post Malone
In addition to being embraced by both critics and Krist Novoselic, Post Malone’s recent charity set of Nirvana covers raised coffers of cash for COVID-19 relief. Now, the face-tattooed rap-rocker is seeing one of his own cuts covered, this time by another artist that, at least on the surface, doesn’t appear to occupy the same air: Dashboard Confessional.
Chris Carrabba’s enduring emo outfit debuted a tender, Dashboard-ey cover of Posty’s “Circles” in a Spotify Singles session released this week. Recorded pre-COVID at Electric Lady Studios, the cover is accompanied by a version of bygone weeper “Screaming Infidelities” that exudes a wistful sense of reflection, as if Carrabba himself is thoughtfully musing on the overwrought lyrics he penned two decades ago.
Give both a listen below.
