Seems like only yesterday that married indie pop duo and Kansas natives Mates of State released their last album Re-Arrange Us but it was almost two years ago. Now the band is gearing up for their newest release Crushes (The Covers Mixtape) slated for a summer release on Barsuk. The album marks the duo's first foray into self-recording and production and features cover songs from the vastly popular (Belle & Sebastian, Tom Waits, Fleetwood Mac) to the amazing but slightly obscure (Girls, Dear Nora). The band recently posted the complete tracklist for the record as well as some album art.
1. Laura (Girls)
2. Son et Lumiere (The Mars Volta)
3. Sleep the Clock Around (Belle & Sebastian)
4. Technicolor Girls (Death Cab for Cutie)
5. Long Way Home (Tom Waits)
6. Love Letter (Nick Cave)
7. Second Hand News (Fleetwood Mac)
8. 17 Pink Sugar Elephants (Vashti Bunyan)
9. Roller Coaster Ride (Dear Nora)
10. True Love Will Find You in the End (Daniel Johnston)
