“Durham’s alt-indie solo artist and multi-instrumentalist Girl From Winter Jargon gives her Spotify debut, Without Apology, a visual component with a swish new music video. Filmed by New York visual artist and performer Katheryne Penny, this greyscale piece of cinema is wonderfully shot and choreographed and is as bold and as intricate as the song to which it accompanies.” – Narc Magazine

“My Machete” (Interrupted) by Girl From Winter Jargon
During a little practice of this song on piano, something interrupted me.
Usually interruptions make me see red but I’ve grown oddly fond of this one.

The Bad Cover Versions Project
There was once a thing called the “Bad Cover Version” project. People were confused by the name of said project. The original idea behind it all was to take open requests or suggestions of “bad songs” (i.e songs that might be considered by some as ‘not good’) and to cover them, or find a way to reinterpret them. Music is of course, subjective. One person’s terrible song is another person’s favourite; consequently, many people mistook the project name as self deprecating, others suggested some legitimately good songs and consequently, most of the rules ended up being broken. I am happy with some of them, still very embarrassed by others. (But I think it’s okay to feel embarrassed.) I wanted a challenge. The songs range from childhood television theme tunes (Fireman Sam, Poddington Peas) to sexist Burt Bacharach songs, Pet Shop Boys, Siouxsie and The Banshees and Teesside-based post-punk band, “The Chapman Family” who felt that the cover of their song “Anxiety” was… “Prettier than our version…”
