This countrified cover of Death Cab For Cutie’s “I Will Follow You Into the Dark” shows up on Amy Millan’s second solo album Masters Of The Burial. The Broken Social Scene/Stars singer’s been performing it live for years, but this is the first studio version of the somber Plans song. Her new collection also includes covers of songs by two very Canadian artists — Sarah (no relation to Nick) Harmer’s old band Weeping Tile and folk/country singer Jenny Whiteley — along with guest spots form Stars bandmate Evan Cranley, Leslie Feist, and the Stills’ Liam O’Neil, among others. Here, we get the lady’s side of the post-death pact.
Masters Of The Burial is out 9/8 via Arts&Crafts.

Love it. Love her. Can’t wait!
my favorite DCFC track!
+Amy Milan’s voice has always sounded beautiful
That is easily one of the best cover songs ever!
Great cover. But it’s on the album? Really? That’s a bit of a cop out. No room for covers, I say
As a big fan of both Death Cab and Stars, I really expected/wanted to love this, but I didn’t. The original version works because of it’s simplicity, this version has far too much going on. This kind of turned me off of the album.
if you like this you should check out the bluegrass tribute album to Modest Mouse that’s been floating around for awhile. I’m not kidding.
thanks for that it is great!
dear god that was awful. way to suck the energy out of a song. i have nothing against bluegrass, just bad covers.
yes, yes, yes!
i love her voice but the arrangement is TERRIBLE.
Love that cover art.
we recently did a phone interview with Amy of Stars, check it out and hope you guys enjoy:
