You’ve already heard us raving about the new Mates of State covers album and despite our slight bitterness that the duo is skipping their former-home of Lawrence on their tour, we couldn’t help but share some more news from their camp.
Crushes (The Covers Mixtape) is now available for just $5 and from what we heard off the album, it’s a steal. The album releases on June 15.
You can buy the pre-order the album at matesofstate.com and you can download a cover of Girls‘ “Laura free.
The band also just released a new music video. Watch a new video for their cover of Nick Cave‘s “Love Letter” below. Daniel Garcia directs.
