Celebrating Light In The Attic's 10 year anniversary in 2012, we are releasing a series of very special colored vinyl 7"s and digital downloads. The series features contemporary artists covering a track reissued by Light In The Attic on the A-side, plus the original version on the B-side.

Second in the series we have Alex Maas of the Black Angels, Erika Wennerstrom / Jesse Ebaugh of Heartless Bastards, and Robb Kidd (under the band name Sweet Tea) covering Wendy Rene's 'After Laughter Comes Tears'. Preserving the original song's creepy organ and tortured soul, Sweet Tea adds deep dub bass and raw power. Wendy Rene's original -- beloved of Wu Tang Clan, who sampled it on 'Tearz' -- was one of a handful of timeless soul songs she recorded with The Drapels and solo for Stax before retiring prematurely to raise a family.

A side is produced by Alex Maas / Brett Orrison and recorded at Out The Woodwork Studios, Austin, TX, July 2012. B side features the original Wendy Rene version as remastered by John Baldwin for our anthology of her work, "After Laughter Comes Tears: Complete Stax & Volt Singles + Rarities 1964-1965".

Sweet Tea (The Black Angels & Heartless Bastards) - "After Laughter (Comes Tears)" (by Wendy Rene)

Suit of armour is a track that I wrote when love and fear collided, and left me feeling confused and avoidant. It's a song that observes the reservations I have, when there is something potentially beautiful in front of me, and I look for the cracks and flaws, as a protective method to avoid pain. It is melancholic that the beauty of love is shadowed by so much skepticism and mistrust, but there is an optimistic message too. I have the power to move through the weight of these experiences, remove the armour, and eventually be more open to connection, in time.
