Parenthetical Girls must be really excited about the release of their upcoming Tomlab debut, Engtanglements. The Portland-based three-man, one-woman outfit already leaked A Song for Ellie Greenwich earlier this summer. Now, the band has commissioned labelmates No Kids and Seattle’s The Dead Science to do a couple covers of the band, both of which are currently playing on XLR8R.com. “This Regrettable End” finds No Kids adding a catchy drum machine beat under the original cut’s dense orchestration, and vocalist Zac Pennington’s smooth, melancholy voice seems well-suited to this new arrangement. If you’re feeling this, also check the cover of “Young Eucharists” from The Dead Science. Photo by Sarah Cass.
