As a follow up to Jay's first album of self-penned songs this (mostly) covers album came as a bit of a surprise. There's an interesting choice of songs from the well known to the more obscure, all of performed beautifully in Jay's own style which brings something unique to other people's songs. It's a shame in some ways that there aren't more of his own songs, but at the same time it is perhaps a more even album than Goddamned. So if you haven't heard Jay before, try this first. And he is great live too so don't miss the rare opportunity to hear him in person.

Another Fantastic Album!

In Living Cover is a different spin that his previous album, Goddamned. His cover of The Freshman is really great on the piano. Blowing in the Wind is humble and respectful. Both Hands threw me a little bit as there's some mixing in there but overall it's a great album. No matter what Jay does he just does it so well. Bravo!

Amazing!

Just as I expected it would be after hearing his covers of some of these songs on his youtube page, this new EP is fantastic! His cover of The Freshman is gorgeous with the piano, Zombie is haunting and his rendition of Say It's Possible rivals the original by Terra Naomi. I'm so glad he included two original songs as well - especially Drowning which was the first song he ever wrote! It is an amazing song. Enveloping and dark.
So much talent here! I highly recommend checking him out!

Hasn't left my disc player in over a month.

Jay Brannan is an amazing artist, that produces brilliant music. His voice is so clean I've used his music to replace showering. This album of covers is hauntingly beautiful and everyone that I've played it for has purchased it for themselves immediately. The only thing that disappoints is the small amount of tracks. Thank the lord there's a repeat button.
