FADER PREMIERE

A few months ago, we sent Patrick McDermott to Pop Montreal, and one of the things he saw there was the exact performance that was filmed above, of Montrealer Marie-Hélène L. Delorme covering The Smiths' maybe greatest song, "There Is a Light…" It's a rendition that Patrick says "stopped me cold," and that I say provides the first fair challenge in a decade to Schneider TM's champion coverer's belt. FOXTROTT plays Glasslands in Brooklyn this Wednesday.
