Follow the Sea covers Chapterhouse in tribute to shoegaze icon

Swedish duo Follow the Sea have covered the song ‘Treasure’, fourth track of the Chapterhouse debut album ‘Whirlpool’ (1991), to Treasures, A Tribute To Chapterhouse (The Blog That Celebrates Itself Records) released yesterday, March 7.

Although they are “more into MBV, Slowdive and Lush”, they enjoyed the experience. “We had of course heard of them and listened enough to know that ‘Treasure’ would be our first choice when Renato [Malizia] asked us to be a part of the compilation, singer Erik Solfeldt said. “We aimed for a slower and more monotonous/drone version, repeating the chorus at the end”, he added.

The beautiful compilation includes other bands such as Le 1991, Human Colonies, Pure Morning and All About Rockets. “We're very excited about the release and to hear the other bands versions of the songs”, Solfeldt said.
