When we first solicited recordings for the Afghan Whigs tribute album, we were overwhelmed with the response. There were a number of songs that we loved but just couldn’t fit onto the album. Over the next few days, we’ll be making some of our favorite non-album tracks available for download.
From a Great Height: “Conjure Me”
From a Great Height is a Los Angeles band fronted by vocalist Shelly Om.
Truth be told, if I was going to do this project all over again, I’d put together an Afghan Whigs tribute record with all-female singers. It’s fascinating to hear Greg Dulli’s lyrics re-interpreted by the female voice. That evocative convergence can also be heard with Marcy Mays on “My Curse” and Susan Marshall on “Going to Town.”
From a Great Height’s debut album, … bathed in light… is available now.
You can stream From a Great Height’s cover of “Conjure Me” below or download the track here.
