Oakland's Audrye Sessions covers Elliott Smith
This is a gorgeously serpentine Elliott Smith cover from Oakland, CA foursome The Audrye Sessions. The first handful of times I listened to this I thought for sure it was a woman singing in that mournful alto. Now I realize that this band is fronted by a guy, Ryan Karazija. His voice reminds me of when Jeff Buckley would cover Nina Simone, or Thom Yorke's otherworldy falsetto. This spare rendition is altogether haunting.Waltz #2 (Elliott Smith cover) - The Audrye Sessions

Audrye Sessions’ self-titled EP was just released, with their debut full-length coming February 2009. They're on tour in the coming months, ending up in Denver on December 4th.

It's always interesting to hear other artists takes on Elliott songs, thanks for this!
Audrye Sessions is very good. They have a full-length dropping on Feb. 17th. I would recommend listening to their other stuff.
