Deafheaven "Punk Rock"/"Cody" (Mogwai Covers)

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/14408-punk-rockcody/

Two of my favorite Bay Area black metal groups, Bosse-de-Nage and Deafheaven, teamed up for a split 12", out November 20 on the Flenser (it can be pre-ordered now). For Side A, Deafheaven covered "Punk Rock" and "Cody", the opening songs from Mogwai's Come on Die Young, the Scottish band's 1999 album featuring black metal-esque cover art and sentiments. The selection's a great fit for Deafheaven, who have a way with extended post-rock hauntings.
