We’ve posted a handful of “Wicked Games” covers over the years — by Grooms, Girl Crisis, Giant Drag, and other bands that don’t begin with G — but Washed Out’s take for Sirius XMU’s Sessions is the most lush, as Ernest Greene replaces Chris Isaak’s famous guitar vibrato with warm synths. Listen up, Diplo…
Washed Out’s XMU session premieres next Wednesday night, 8/3 at 9 PM EST. Within
And Without is out now via Sub Pop.

Pretty good, best listened to with some Ambien or Lunesta.
The description says that you’ve also posted a version by Grimes, which got me all excited. Apparently someone made a typo. The link is to a version by Grooms. Tease.
Whoops, sorry. Fixed.
Phil Collins’ lost twin?
@Scott: there’s no actual slide on the cut. It’s the bending of the vibrato-arm of the guitar. Sorry… I’m a nerd. :)
My bad. Thanks Grant.

It’s just doesn’t work-the synth lead just sounds clumsy for me
I’ve always liked HIM’s cover, personally.
