Why do we like this?

Who on Earth thinks of covering The Smiths in this darn age? Asheville electronic duo RBTS WIN does, and they've done an exceptional job of reviving the classic "There is A Light That Never Goes Out."

Ultimately what has been tinkered with here is the soulful offbeat lyricism that was not present in the original. RBTS WIN pride themselves on their psychedelic electronic production, and it proves to be a winner when matched with Morrissey's unrivalled songwriting.

The cover is a B-side from their Palm Sunday LP studio sessions and you can grab a free copy here!
