Late this summer, the editors of MOJO magazine asked if WP would be up for covering a song from Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Without admitting I’d never actually listened to it, we set about re-building the track ‘Mother’ into something a little different from the original everyone seems to love. Talk about pressure, but it’s out at newsstands now, free with the December issue. (Otherwise, just take a listen to it here. We won’t tell).
This. Is. Wonderful.
Your band has never sounded better!
Pink Floyd is an important group. Inspiring both musically and lyrically. Seeing The Wall cracks a persons skull open with a refreshing perspective on the structures that we’ve all been subjected to, and influenced by.
This cover rules. And I agree with Jon, that this is a great mix that will probably rub off on the band for future recordings to come. In the best way.
Love, Mike
