†††, Chino Moreno and Shaun Lopez’s band, are back with a special Christmas gift. They’ve taken on Q Lazzarus’ beloved “Goodbye Horses,” a song whose cult icon status seems to keep strengthening over the years. Moreno and Lopez’s take is a pretty faithful rendition —- a little grainer and more haunting, but maintaining the same basic synth-pop foundation. Their press release also promises new ††† music in 2022. For now, check out their cover of “Goodbye Horses” and revisit Q Lazzarus’ original below.
