Quartet for Dolores

Amanda Palmer & Jherek Bischoff cover two Cranberries songs (listen)

Amanda Palmer and frequent collaborator Jherek Bischoff have released covers of two classic The Cranberries tracks following the tragic passing of lead singer Dolores O’Riordan earlier this month. Amanda takes on “Zombie” and “No Need to Argue” on the Quartet for Dolores EP, with string arrangements from Jherek. The results are chilling, particular “Zombie,” whose grungy, nearly metal riffs are reimagined with a string quartet. 100% of proceeds from digital downloads of the EP, which you can listen to below, go to Chernobyl Children International.

These aren’t the only covers Amanda has released recently; she also contributed a cover of The Mountain Goats“The Mess Inside” for the ongoing “I Only Listen To The Mountain Goats” podcast.
