Thurston Moore covers New Order


Thurston Moore unleashed a cover of New Order's "Leave Me Alone" today. Moore recorded his version of the Power, Corruption and Lies staple in Salford and will be releasing it as the b-side to three different 7" singles which are set for release November 8th. The trio of singles each feature a different A side ("Spring Swells," "Three Graces," and "Pollination") captured live earlier this year. His New Order cover is a new studio recording and serves as the b-side to all three singles.

Moore's version certainly doesn't outshine New Order's brilliant classic -- that would be an impossible feat -- however Moore has provided a respectable version.

Stream "Leave Me Alone" below.
