Evert Snyman Posts Paul McCartney Cover “Temporary Secretary”; All Killer Filler Out July 28
Note that in addition to covering Paul McCartney‘s “Temporary Secretary,” Evert Snyman also takes on “I Will,” a McCartney-penned Beatles song from the White Album. See also Pixies and Frank Black. Clearly somebody appreciates songwriting. From The Stooges to Blur and Smashing Pumpkins to Foo Fighters to the Piña Colada song, that’s the underlying message of Snyman‘s upcoming covers record, All Killer Filler, and his original material bears out that influence, as one might’ve heard on last year’s Pruning in the Dark (review here). The new collection is out July 28 through Mongrel Records and Snyman has put up a video for “Temporary Secretary” as a lead single from the offering.
The clip wants nothing for persona — neither did the original — and Snyman makes it his own while staying true to the base structure. If that’s the method put to use throughout All Killer Filler, things will be just fine. Also a producer in addition to being a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Snyman has shown a willingness to dive deep on arrangements and different atmospheres within songs, and I’d expect the covers collection to be a fun excuse to play in that regard. In any case, here’s looking forward.
