If any of you out there know of The Watson Twins, it is most likely from their work with Rilo Kiley front woman Jenny Lewis. For my part, I first fell in love with them when I heard the song "Shoot The Lights Out" from their album Southern Manners, a painfully beautiful little number about love and loneliness. Well, it seems that they've got a new album coming out on June 24th, the day of my birth. So for this particular Cover Me! session, we're gonna give you a double shot of goodness. The first one is a fairly straightforward, yet moving nonetheless, take on Spoon's "I Summon You," taken from a live radio session. The second, a beautiful, Mazzy Star-ish version of the Cure's "Just Like Heaven," comes from The Watson Twins forthcoming June album, Fire Songs. Enjoy.

Gatsbys american dream's version of just like heaven!
I love Gatsby's version. His voice is pretty much awesome. Jenny Lewis sounds great in this version too.
