One of my favorite covers of 2010 comes to us from the indie rock, husband/wife, duo Mates of State. This year the duo released Crushes (The Covers Mixtape), which includes covers of other indie rock acts, including Tom Waits, Belle & Sebastian, The Mars Volta, and Girls.
You can download two tracks, Laura (Girls cover) and True Love Will Find You in the End (Daniel Johnston cover), for free at matesofstate.com.
Next up, Girls, an indie rock band from San Francisco that have been compared to Elvis Costello, Buddy Holly, and The Beach Boys. This year they released the Broken Dreams Club EP.
