Why do we like this?

Naked, exposed, and pure, this live cover of Tim Buckley's "Song To The Siren" by Mikky Ekko is a real "stop, stand still, and pay attention" kind of track. Recorded during his session for San Francisco-based music website Yours Truly, Mikky Ekko relies upon nothing but his guitar and enchanting voice to tell the song's spine-tingly melancholic tale.

Drifting over the guitar's slow moving, ailing chords, Mikky Ekko's fragile, vulnerable vocals and touching lyrics are a truly spell-binding combination.

Featured on theYours TrulyBest Of 2013's Sessions playlist, this track is one of about five tracks I was tempted to post today. To check out the playlist and sessions from other artists such as Sampha, Toro y Moi, Haerts, Jessie Ware and King Krule, just click on the link here.

By Jason Grishkoff on Apr 26, 2010 | I never understood this song. Not the original, when every person, ever, was raving about The Knife and that amazing album (and I thought it merely interesting, alien lanscapes of gothic electronica pop).
