Waxahatchee and Brennan Wedl have released a cover of “Six O’ Clock News,” the 2002 Kathleen Edwards single about a man killed in a police standoff. The pair previously played the track at a performance in Nashville. Now, a studio version is out on Anti-. You can listen to it below.
“Brennan and I really bonded over our mutual love for Kathleen Edwards’ music,” Waxahatchee explained in a statement. “It’s such a powerful song with timeless appeal and I’m just thrilled to get to release our take on it.”
“Twenty-five years ago, my audience looked a lot different than theirs does today,” added Edwards. “It’s incredibly cool to see young women love the songwriting that means so much to me, too.”
Starting next month, Wedl will join Waxahatchee on a North American tour with MJ Lenderman.
