Mannequin Pussy cover Rilo Kiley’s “The Execution of All Things” for the ‘No Bad Words For The Coast Today’ compilation

Written by Lauren Rosier

Rock band, Mannequin Pussy, releases their cover of Rilo Kiley‘s “The Execution of All Things” as part of No Bad Words For The Coast Today: The Execution of All Things Covers Comp, out November 6.

“Rilo Kiley is the band where I can confidently say that they are simultaneously one of my favorites but they also give me musical amnesia. By that, I mean I can obsessively listen to their discography for months and then – as though someone placed a curse on me – I forget they exist. This curse is really a gift because when I remember how much I love them, it’s like discovering them again for the first time, that sense of wonder for the songs never goes away – no matter how many times I’ve gone through their albums. I’m awestruck by Jenny’s gift for prose and poetry and her expressive voice, Blake’s tremendous capacity to create ‘noodly’ riffs that never sound cheesy but that always perfectly complement and elevate every song. Listening to this band you can sense the collaboration. Collaboration between talented people can create magic and that’s what they are to me – musical magic.” — Marisa Dabice, Mannequin Pussy

From now until the compilation’s release date on November 6th, all the proceeds will be donated to G.L.I.T.S., a New York-based non-profit, social justice, advocacy, and service organization, which addresses the health and rights crises that transgender sex workers face on a daily basis.

Pre-order the compilation via Bandcamp (exclusive) today, and you’ll receive a download of Sad13‘s “Paint’s Peeling” and Mannequin Pussy‘s cover of “The Execution of All Things.”
