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.”

Hardcore fans of Amazing Baby will find “Supreme Being” familiar. A demo version of “Supreme Being” was released on the 2008 EP Infinite Fuking Cross. The new version was completely re-recorded featuring some of the ladies from Au Revoir Simone as background vocals.

“The original recording of it was done in my bedroom,” said guitarist Simon O’Connor. “It didn’t belong on any album; it needed its own parade of sorts. When Green Label Sound came along, we thought that would be the absolute perfect vehicle to take ‘Supreme Being’ and put it out there.”

Dave Sardy, who has worked numerous successful artists, including The Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, & Jay-Z, mixed the song.

“The lyrics are about not being comfortable in your own skin, not knowing who to trust and not knowing who you are,” said lead singer Will Roan. “It’s about searching for that thing you want to surrender to.”
