Cover songs, or tributes, can be a love/hate relationship some can bear to do without. I've always enjoyed when a band could honor one of their influences by covering them but in the same instance transform the song into a sound all their own. I even have a collection of mixes I made based solely on cover songs.
Today's selection is from Baltimore's own Wye Oak. Wye Oak is a very melodic band featuring multiple layers of sound and atmosphere, all created by just two people. Here they take Danzig's "Mother" (a band and song from the opposite side of the musical spectrum from them) and totally make it their own. So enjoy their AV Club performance of "Mother" from last summer:
