Twin Shadow continues his eclectic Under The Cvrs series with a brooding take on The Smiths' classic "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out." Joined by Friends vocalist Samantha Urbani, this short cover is full of murky synths and vocal manipulation, with the car crash ending an unusual but fitting way to bring things to a close.

Twin Shadow recently talked with Rookie about the cover and had this to say:

"Everything I do, I mean sincerely, but there is a little joke within this one. In every critique of Twin Shadow, there is a dropping of Morrissey's name, which I always thought was funny because I have never really been a huge fan of Morrissey or the Smiths. [Laughs] So it's a nod to people calling me "the Dominican Morrissey."

I think part of it is just that the trend in underground music the last 20 years has been to sing in a high, sort of whiny voice"”coming from that MGMT, John Lennon place. I have a gloomy, low-ish voice, so I think people attach that to Morrissey."
