In celebration of their 10th Anniversary Concert Series, the ever-dependable Paper Bag Records have put together a compilation of their own artists’ take on David Bowie’s 1972 masterpiece The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, itself celebrating something of a milestone in 2012. Download Austra (pictured) and CFCF’s dreamy version of Soul Love below; the whole album is available free here. Last year the Canadian label released a similar treatment of another pop classic, Madonna’s True Blue, described by Snipe’s Vancouver-born publisher thus: ‘this couldn’t be more Canadian if it was drowned in maple syrup and rammed up the arse of a polar bear’.
