Lou Haytor has shared her take on
Steely Dan s Time Out Of Mind .
The London based polymath has just completed work on her debut solo album, which lands later this year.
Out in May via Skint, Private Sunshine is a burst of 80s leaning synth energy, with the other-worldly feel providing a meeting point between house and Francophone pop.
Deciding to lead her solo album with a cover, Lou Haytor injects Steely Dan s Time Out Of Mind with some scintillating energy.
She comments.
Steely Dan are my favourite band. So I approached this cover with my utmost respect and tried to be reverent. I chose a bit more of a deep cut from their album Gaucho . My friend Jeff Wooton who plays with Gorillaz very kindly added this mega guitar solo on the record, he nailed it in one take which was amazing to watch. I hope it has the same happy sunshine sound that Steely Dan brings to me when I listen to them.
