Cover your faces while you cover your favorites: it's time for a sequel to Guilt by Association, the 2007 comp from Engine Room Recordings that had folks like Will Oldham, Devendra Banhart, and Superchunk totally putting their cred on the line bytaking on an eyebrow-raising bunch of popular tunes.
For round two, the comp seems to have evolved from a collection of covers of guilty pleasures to an unabashed celebration of pop, probably since nobody should ever feel ashamed for liking something (unless that something is Ted Nugent in 2008).
Participants this time around include the My Brightest Diamond, Frightened Rabbit, Kaki King, Rafter, Takka Takka, the Forms, and Matt Pond PA, while the material ranges from 1980s classics such as "In the Air Tonight", "Tainted Love", and "If You Leave" to cuts from Ace of Base, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, and even Katy Perry.
Guilt by Association Vol. 2 hits stores on CD come February 17, but anxious sorts can actually score the thing right now via iTunes. You can also stream the set here, and download an MP3 of My Brightest Diamond's "Tainted Love" cover below. No really, go ahead, we swear we won't tell a soul. ;-)...www.pitchforkmedia.com
