Still As The Night - Eerie Wanda

The Dutch speak better English than most natives - and if Eerie Wanda is any indication - they sing better too. Lead by singer-songwriter Marina Tadic, this four person outfit from Amsterdam has been producing music together since early 2014. Earlier this year, the group took advantage of the opportunity to open for the Allah-Las for parts of the L.A. band's European tour. We should expect to hear more commotion from Eerie Wanda, with several sites reporting an album release for 2015.

Their cover of the original by Sanford Clark is a hauntingly true rendition. Tadic is a siren with Clark's dire words, while blue-lipped backing vocals round out the refrain. Anodyne pauses and sleepy drum beats are appropriate for the love deprived lyrics. Even as spring arrives, this song brings a chill. <TM>
