Levi’s Pioneer Sessions: The Revival Recordings project delivers once again with a fantastic cover from the apparently-not-disbanded Shins. They chose this cover of Squeeze’s “Goodbye Girl” as their first new piece of music to be made publicly available in over two years, and it’s quite a homecoming. As always, you can stream and download the track here:
