In the wake of the unprecedented VEVO premiere of their visually stunning “Heart of Stone” video, The Raveonettes have unveiled two covers of the jangly anthem performed by a pair of indie rock luminaries. Recent Sub Pop signees & rising Los Angelinos Dum Dum Girls cut the song’s already lean runtime down by a minute & infused it with their signature reverb-soaked twinkle, managing to pack its widescreen cinematic flare into what now sounds like a charmingly vintage 45” single.

The second cover, premiered over at Vice, is a slowed down, fuzzed out psych-rock banger by Brooklyn darlings Amazing Baby. Singer Will Roan channels his inner T. Rex amidst chugging guitars & warbly synths, while the 6 1/2 minute track finds its center amidst guitarist Simon O’Connor’s raging solo at the 3 minute mark. In Simon’s own words, “I have always loved The Raveonettes, always wanted to rip off their riffs. When we heard ‘Heart of Stone’ we were all a little worried because we thought the original was perfect – exactly how we would want it. So I guess we just slowed it down and made it less Danish.”
