His Name Is Alive

Artist: His Name Is Alive
LP: The Dirt Eaters EP
Song: "The Dirt Eaters"
[ listen ]

Have you heard about the new compilation the British-based 4AD label is releasing later this year? It features all the artists that are currently signed to the label doing a cover of a song that was released by 4AD sometime in the past 41 years, after the label first launched in 1980. 

One of my favorite bands on 4AD now (and then) is The Breeders. They've chosen to cover "The Dirt Eaters," from the 1992 His Name Is Alive EP of the same name. His Name Is Alive is another of my favorite 4AD bands (they were booted from the label in the early 2000s after an at-the-time-seemingly-4AD-incompatible foray into R&B) so I have to keep pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. My arm is covered in bruises, but the LP and CD will be available in July!
