Melbourne’s Parading have released a stirring, stripped-back cover of Paul Kelly’s ‘Big Heart’ in anticipation of their upcoming Jungle Songs album.

Already having made a name for themselves as purveyors of some of the finest modern shoegaze music going around, Parading’s take on Paul Kelly’s classic track is a welcome slice of updated Australiana.

Produced by Richard Andrew (Underground Lovers), the group lovingly pay tribute to the lyrical and emotional beauty present in Kelly’s original 1987 track through the restrained use of dreamy vocals and fuzzed-out guitars.

Jungle Songs is out on November 11, with a launch at Ding Dong on Saturday Nov 25 to follow, but in the meantime you can check out ‘Big Heart’ below.
