Toronto-based alternative rock band Selfish Things have today premiered a brand video for a cover of Marvins Room by Drake. The band will also release Vertical Love // Reimagined EP on 25th May, which is three tracks from Vertical Love re-worked plus the cover of “Marvin’s Room”. See full tracklisting below.
‘I opted to cover Marvins Room because it’s a record that’s always resonated with me’ says singer Alex Biro. ‘I used to drive around with a friend from work and a few friends from Oakville, ON (the town beside where I grew up) blasting Take Care on repeat at like, 1am in the middle of the winter of 2011/2012. I was in a weird period of growth and wasn’t sure what I was becoming, so a lot of the content/emotive delivery really hit home. The lyrical vulnerability of someone struggling with the trials and tribulations of fame was a potent and telling narrative that stuck with me to this day.’
Selfish Things released their debut EP Vertical Love on March 16th, 2018. Catch them performing at the acoustic stage at Slam Dunk this year.
