Glaive has covered Death Cab For Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" for a new Spotify Singles release.

As well as recording an acoustic take on his June outing "minnesota is a place that exists" for Spotify Singles, glaive has covered Death Cab For Cutie's Plans song "I Will Follow You Into The Dark", both of which were recorded at Spotify Studios in LA.

"Around the time of the recording, I was listening to a lot of Death Cab For Cutie," glaive said. "The idea for the cover came about when during a session one day I was tired of working on my own music but still wanted to make music. It's one of the only songs I know how to play on guitar so I started to work through it with Ralph and Danny and Jeff and it just clicked."

glaive added, "The original ("minnesota") is my favourite song I've ever made. It's so energetic and crazy whereas the Spotify Single is a lot more thought out and beautiful. Again, I'm a sucker for acoustic guitar on a song and I'm glad it worked so well with this version."

Earlier this month glaive shared a GoFundMe to help Binkus, the dog that featured on the cover art for his 2021 EP all dogs go to heaven.

glaive's cover of Death Cab For Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" is available to stream on Spotify now.
