Update #5: Reward Cover #2: Someone Like You - Adele

Posted on February 24

Hey Friendly Faces,

First up: we just got back from a tour of the amazing Dubway Studios in the financial district where we'll be recording the album March 3rd-6th. It was just like being in a spaceship, but a spaceship that couldn't fly... but COULD record music. Check it out here: http://www.dubway.com/facility_mezzanine.html

Unfortunately, we aren't going to have time to get to back to making covers until after the CD is recorded, so we're asking you guys to help us spread the word in the mean time! Share the covers!

And now to Adele's "Someone Like You" ... requested by Kickstarter Backer Parisa Arabshahi (and superstar mother "Thanks Mom!"- Arya).
