6 1/2

Posies co-founder Jo Auer steps out on his own with the release of "6 ½," an EP of masterful cover songs. After a hectic year spent promoting an avalanche of releases from the supposedly defunct Popsies, Auer decided to hole up on his own in a studio this winter and "6 ½" is the powerful result. Radically reworked versions of SERGE GAINSBOURG’s “Bonnie & Clyde” (instrumental), “Tears” by The CHAMELEONS, “Love My Way” by The PSYCHEDELIC FURS, WEEN’s “Baby Bitch,” “Green Eyes” by HUSKER DU, SWERVEDRIVER’s “These Times,” and “Beautiful Stranger” by MADONNA. Sure to surprise (and delight) many Posies fans.
