Apology Kink takes on Garbage with a maximal, darkwave cover
LA's Apology Kink creeps back into our consciousness by effortlessly reimagining Garbage's 1995 hit "#1 Crush" as an arena-ready goth banger.
While the original is a dark and minimal trip-hoppy affair, the cover takes all of that raw emotion and amplifies the aura without losing an ounce of its effectiveness.
Starting out bouncy but subdued, the song soon becomes driving and ostentatious with blistering drums and fierce production. A bed of vintage synthesizers provides a foundation for Augustus Watkins' impassioned vocals perfectly capturing the grimy obsession in Shirley Manson’s lyrics.
"BITCHHOUSE is everything that you would expect - their all-encompassing female power smeared thick across eleven songs...this feels like a call to arms." - musiquemachine.com
