Max Tundra shares a hyperpop cover of Kate Bush’s “This Woman’s Work”

Originally featured on the soundtrack of the 1988 film, She’s Having a Baby, and then on Bush’s 1989 album The Sensual World, Jacobs pays homage to the original whilst transforming it into hyperpop. "This Woman's Work" arrives alongside a James Hankins (Kero Kero Bonito, Richard Dawson) directed video in which Ben becomes a pin-up pop star.

Speaking of the video, he says: "About 10 years ago, I tweeted: 'In 100 years' time, will people look back and realise Max Tundra was actually the ultimate pop star?' I didn't know it then, but it seems like that was the starting point for this video."

“Kate Bush is one of the few artists to have made the substance of the universe appear to change before my eyes,” Jacobs comments. “Her purity of artistic ambition has burst the universe wide open for me on several occasions. "This Woman’s Work" is one of her most special pieces – I decided I would like to cover this song, as something new to perform at the end of my recent live show promoting my Domino reissues, as I felt it could showcase another side of my sound after the maximalist onslaught of my discography to date. I hope I did it justice.”

The release follows the reissue of his first three studio albums – his 2000 debut Some Best Friend You Turned Out to Be, 2002’s breakthrough Mastered by Guy at the Exchange, and the 2008 release of Parallax Error Beheads You – as well as the Remixtape EP which featured classic reinventions from the Max Tundra discography by the likes of Julia Holter, Katie Dey and Kero Kero Bonito.
