FROM MOKB: "Tor is a Vancouver-based producer/remixer who registered a while back with the Illinoize EP (check it out, here), which found him doin’ the dirty to select tracts from Sufjan Stevens’ Illinois. Encouraged by the largely positive response garnered by that project, Tor has turned his attention toward preparing a full-length of original material for release in 2011. The first fruit from those sessions answers to the name Aperture."

The Walkmen's note-for-note reproduction of Harry Nilsson's Pussy Cats. The story behind Nilsson's original is almost as good as the record: Nilsson was friendly with all the Beatles, but was far closer to (and owed more to) John Lennon than the rest. Nilsson was Lennon's main drinking buddy throughout the ex-Beatle's "Lost Weekend" period in L.A., a time when Lennon was separated from Yoko Ono and Pussy Cats came to fruition. When the two finally went into the studio with Lennon as producer, Nilsson's vocal cords ruptured, ruining his impressive higher register for the entirety of the session-- yet he never told Lennon, for fear the project would be halted. It goes to show how Nilsson valued and looked up to his friend, but also why he remained a cult figure despite writing huge hits, being loved by esteemed fellow artists like the Beatles, and remaining incredibly consistent as a songwriter
“It Hurts Me Too†was famously covered by Elmore James. And Chuck Berry. And Bob Dylan. And Eric Clapton. And…you get the idea. First Aid Kit’s take hews closest to Karen Dalton’s lush 1969 folk-rocker. Jack Lawrence of the Raconteurs and the Greenhornes contributes bass to this track.
