Last weekend they were invited on the American TV Show Fallon
and astounded with a cover of a PJ Harvey song The Desperate
Kingdom Of Love. A magnetic ballad from her sixth album Uh Huh Her (2004).
Gahan‘s take is splendiferous. He goes on a high along with
his bewitching performance. Tremendous version executed
with fervor and ardor.
Pitchfork says: “The Australian singer-songwriter’s fourth album has
the directness of a collection of demos. Barnett sounds characteristically
laconic; she’s at her best when she lets her guitar take the lead.”

NME says: “The Bristol band’s fourth album is a course correction,
one that dials down the aggression in favour of reflection. This appears
a stepping stone in the band’s evolution, rather than the finishing line.”
XS NOISE says: “With Imposter, Dave Gahan lets us hear what
influences him, and it’s clear these songs mean an awful lot to him.
He’s not an imposter, he’s the real thing.”

Gahan: “When I listen to other people’s voices and songs, more
importantly, the way they sing them and interpret the words, I feel
at home. I identify with it. It comforts me more than anything else.
There’s not one performer on the record who I haven’t been moved
by. I know we made something special, and I hope other people feel
that and it takes them on a little kind of trip, especially people who
love music and have for years.””
We already heard his Cat Power cover and here Dave Gahan turns into a soul-stirring crooner with his take of THE DARK END OF THE STREET. A sensitive 1966 ballad written
by a duo called Chips Moman and Dan Penn and covered, over the years, by several big stars such as Aretha Franklin, Dolly Parton, Elvis Costello and Frank Black.
