The local indie, modern rock band Hiss & Chambers has just released a four-song EP of glorious covers in my true musical love language: ’80s alternative. The lineup has evolved since first forming in 2006, and for this current project, you’ll hear Shawn Saindon (vocals and guitar), Jason Hjort (guitars, keys and programming) and Ian Riley on bass.
The tracks are Peter Murphy’s “Cuts You Up” from the 1989 album “Deep,” “Ceremony” (featuring guest vocalist Emilia Dahlin) by New Order from the 1981 album “Movement,” “The Forest” by The Cure from the 1980 album “Seventeen Seconds,” and “Under the Milky Way” by The Church from the 1988 album “Starfish.”
