Kevin Devine‘s got a big heart, and that heart is quite fond of Elliott Smith. The Brooklyn singer-songwriter throws out covers like candy, and about half of those are Elliott Smith songs, from “Between the Bars” to “Say Yes” to “The Biggest Lie.” He’s gone and added another one to the list, this time covering Smith’s depressing “King’s Crossing” off From a Basement on a Hill. Give it a listen below.

The cover is a part of Fadeaway Records’ triumphant return after a 10+ hiatus by means of a sweet triple LP compilation with all profits going to cancer research charities. Stuffed with covers and b-sides from Brand New to Motion City Soundtrack, the compilation comes on 140-gram vinyl in a variety of colors. Read more about the release here.
