Australian singer-songwriter Vera Blue has performed Radiohead's iconic track "Creep" for triple j's Like A Version. The cover focuses on the original 1992 song, stripping it down to three elements: electric guitar, piano, and vocals. Blue's rendition begins low and builds to a powerful falsetto during the chorus. She incorporated The Pipe, a mouth-controlled dynamic effects processor and synthesizer, to add an eerie texture to the arrangement.
Blue was inspired by the song's emotional depth, calling "Creep" an "epic rock song" with "heartbreaking" lyrics and aiming for a haunting version that pays homage to Thom Yorke's original. During her studio session, Blue also performed "Maze," a track from her upcoming album Modern Rituals, which is set to release on Friday, Aug.
21 via Island Records/Universal Music Australia. The album tour supporting the record will open at Brisbane's Princess Theatre on Aug. 21 and continue through Perth's The Rechabite on Aug. 28.
