My Morning Jacket // West End Girls
My Morning Jacket’s cover of the Pet Shop Boys’ “West End Girls” seemed like a strange musical choice for the southern-rock band at the time. It turns out that Jim James has always had a penchant for pop music. He finally had the confidence and label support [ATO] to express this side of himself on Evil Urges. I look forward to seeing which direction James explores on the next album.
The Conchords’ “Inner City Pressure” is a flawless parody of “West End Girls“. It showcases their talent and strength as singer-songwriters. I expect them to record a serious album once the series ends.
