Annie Hamilton has taken on a local fave for Like A Version, covering Methyl Ethel’s ‘Ubu’ on triple j, Hamilton shakes the track up — it’s a little darker, a little grungier and really good.
The single, which came in at #4 in the Hottest 100 of 2017, goes off with swirling guitars and Hamilton’s anguished vocals.
We also received a performance of Hamilton’s ‘Panic’. The lead single is taken from her self-titled EP.
Chatting about her choice for the segment, Annie Hamilton says the single is really relevant to the time we’re in at the moment. “Lyrically, this idea of a person withdrawing and pulling back and at the moment everyone is obviously so isolated.”
She also mentioned she’s done a bunch of Like A Versions in the past. ‘Great Southern Land’ with Little May, ‘Truly Madly Deeply’ with Savage Garden, and she played the xylophone with Dustin Tebbutt on ‘Young Folks’.
Listen to both her performances and her ‘Behind the Like A Version’ below.
