A dreamy, hypnotic captivation shows on the latest release from Powder Pink & Sweet, unveiling a lush cover of Cigarettes After Sex’s “Apocalypse.” Serene guitar jangles and a warming, steady rhythm section complement a compelling vocal presence, maintaining the original’s calmness with a slightly higher pitch. Concluding guitars provide a new, melodic take from the original, fading into a nocturnal chill. “Go and sneak us through the rivers,” the vocals tempt as trickling guitars envelop, arising into the ascended emotion within the “I know you want me,” admissions. Powder Pink & Sweet thoroughly impress with this enchanting take on a Cigarettes After Sex standout.
