Former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland and his band BLACK LIGHT BURNS is preparing for the release of Cover Your Heart and The Anvil Pants Odyssey, a combination CD and DVD package on August 5, 2008 on I Am: Wolfpack/YMA Music Group. Packed with reinterpreted songs of bands including Duran Duran (“Hungry Like the Wolf”), The Jesus Lizard (“The Art of Self Defense”), Sisters of Mercy (“Lucretia My Reflection”) and PJ Harvey (“Rid of Me”), Cover Your Heart is a deconstruction and reconstruction of music that the band has loved and appreciated. “This is a short list of just some of our favorite songs,” Wes explains. “It was really a culmination of years of ideas for cover songs and never getting around to doing it. But as soon as the thought of a covers album came about, it was like pulling a cork out of a dam. We had to stick it back in as fast as possible because we were soaked
in like four seconds.”
In response to the music industry’s constantly changing business model,
Black Light Burns has decided to take on a different approach to
distributing their music. Instead of offering simple physical CDs and
digital downloads, they are offering multiple music offerings that include
the following tiers:
$5 DOWNLOAD – Entire Cover Your Heart album with booklet
FREE DOWNLOAD – Instrumentals (seven tracks) with booklet
$25 PHYSICAL – Entire Cover Your Heart album with booklet, Entire The Anvil Pants Odyssey DVD, T-shirt and Sticker
$100 PHYSICAL DELUXE EDITION – Entire Cover Your Heart album with booklet, Entire The Anvil Pants Odyssey DVD, Entire Cruel Melody CD, Limited edition and number hard cover, autographed book containing 30 Wes Borland art prints (est. size: 10.5″ x 13.75″)
