A Video of Big Trouble playing Low’s “California”

Big Trouble wanted to do something to recognize the contributions of Mimi Parker to our musical world and we decided to work up a cover of one of our favorite Low songs, California. If you are not aware of Mimi Parker, a great place to start is Andrea Swensson’s Pitchfork article outlining six amazing tracks from Parker’s catalog.

As we were working on the arrangement I realized that it is one of the few songs that Big Trouble has ever covered that we all kind of equally knew, we were all well aware of the sound, the arrangement, the feel. This was a big record to so many people all around the world, but I must say it came for the perfect time for me and it is still my favorite album by Low. I hope you enjoy our cover. And I hope you enjoy seeing my basement. We’ll be playing it live on Saturday November 26 over at White Squirrel. Our set is from 6-7:45. Maybe you can make it out!
