Sydney Sprague has released a new cover of Turnstile’s
UNDERWATER BOI.
The rendition arrives as part of Rude Records’ Changing Tides charity
compilation – which includes other covers by the likes of Have Mercy and
Superlove – with proceeds going towards Sea Shepherd.
“GLOW ON by Turnstile has been my hyper-fixation record since it
came out, and I really love UNDERWATER BOI in particular,” says Sydney of
tackling the Turnstile favourite. “I figured since it has water in the title it’d
be a good fit for a compilation directed towards benefitting ocean clean-up
efforts.
“When Rude approached me about contributing to the Changing
Tides compilation, I was super excited. I’ve spent most of my life playing
covers for a living but I’ve never gotten around to releasing any. Working on
songs that aren’t mine scratches a totally different part of my brain and I
really enjoy it. My bass player / partner / collaborator and I recorded it in
our home studio. It was a fun project for us especially after being so focused
on my new record, somebody in hell loves you, for the last year. It’s really
the first thing we’ve worked on since making the record and it was a nice way
to ease back into recording mode.”
