Intelligence will be releasing a new covers 7-inch through Plastic Idol Records. The A-side will be a cover of the Magnetic Fields’ “Fido Your Leash Is Too Long,” with a cover of the Splits’ “Shitty World” as the B-side. Sounds crazy? It is. Here’s their wacky take on Stephin Merritt’s already wacky tune:
