PACKS Share Iceage Cover "Drink Rain", On Tour This Fall
Toronto-based band PACKS are today sharing new music, a cover of Iceage's “Drink Rain." The single showcases vocalist Madeline Link in a newly vulnerable and stripped-down light, whose throaty, heady version of the track glimmers in its sparse yet emotive delivery that pays tribute to the introspective original. Maddie adds:
"When I first listened to this song, I was awestruck. I listened all day every day for weeks, trying to engrain each note into my brain. A love song about bugs and rainwater in a strange, unpredictable key. The simple desperation quietly called out to me, saying, 'You need to learn this song on the guitar so you can sing it too.' So I sat down one afternoon when I was alone and picked it out. Now when I listen to it, it's less because of the obsessive need to, and more out of sheer pleasure."
