The Coral Sea
The Coral Sea covers two songs-The Knife’s “Heartbeats” and The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind?”-on its slim Covers EP.

However, as reincarnated by The Coral Sea, “Heartbeats” sounds a hell of a lot like vintage Television circa Marquee Moon-which is a very good thing indeed. Meanwhile, Frank Black’s classic “Where Is My Mind?” is interestingly arranged and transformed here to an almost opiated state.
