2:54 -sisters Hannah and Colette Thurlow- have debuted a
special cover version of Seal and Adamski's Nineties classic, 'Killer'.
Currently main support to the XX on their European comeback tour, they just
premiered the surprise track online, with Colette commenting, "There's
a nostalgia to 'Killer' that each member of the band identifies with. We grew
up listening to Seal. 'Kiss from a Rose' and 'Crazy' are such big songs. We
thought it would be interesting to re-work a pop song and put a 2:54 spin on
it. The lyrics are really moving too; melancholic and tough. To me it feels
like a song about hope and solidarity."
2:54 have become one of 2012's most notable breakthrough
bands, releasing their debut on Fat Possum in late May album to fevered
critical acclaim, and touring the world with the likes of champions like Wild
Beasts, The XX, Yuck and The Big Pink. After an epic month-long US headline
run, and a hectic summer making their mark on all the best festivals, they
resumed their show-stopping trek with the XX before releasing new single
'Sugar' at the end of the month. In October the two bands join forces again for
an amazing US adventure together, the seven joint dates start in Los Angeles
and wind up in Milwaukee. Plus, on the same trip they they're managing to fit
in several of their own headline dates, including San Francisco, Toronto, New
York and Brooklyn.
