Tod Lippy Releases "Time," His Cover Of 1981 Hit By Alan Parsons Project
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) On October 5th, Tod Lippy will release "Time," the lead single from his forthcoming covers LP "Closer Than They Appear".
"I was a major fan of Alan Parsons Project growing up, and this was always my favorite song of theirs," Lippy says. "When I decided to cover it, I wanted to foreground its message about the ephemerality of existence by taking it in a darker, more electronic direction." The haunting track was arranged and produced by Lippy and mixed by his frequent collaborator Jeff Lipstein, who also provided drums and percussion.

Lippy has covered other musicians' songs in the past, including memorable takes on tracks as diverse as Book of Love's "Boy," Alex G's "Adam," and Bing Crosby's "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams." After he completed "Time," he decided to devote an entire LP to cover songs.

On November 4th, Lippy will release "Closer Than They Appear", featuring his interpretations of music by Low, Beth Gibbons, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, American Music Club, The NoTwist, Lucinda Williams, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Frightened Rabbit and Bedhead. "I only cover songs that have packed an emotional punch for me at different parts of my life," Lippy says. "That process of listening to something I love over and over again, while at the same time trying to absorb the lessons the artist is teaching me about how to craft a beautiful song, is almost a forensic exercise. At a certain point, I find I'm able to pull back a bit and get to work hopefully creating something that both honours the original and takes it into new territory for both myself and the listener", he further reveals. While some of these covers will be instantly recognizable, at least one should be familiar only to readers of ESOPUS, the arts magazine Lippy created and produced from 2003 to 2018: "Son C" is an unreleased track that Frightened Rabbit created for one of the magazine's themed audio CDs ("Nostradamus," from issue 13).

The 10-song LP will also include two bonus tracks: a remix of Lippy's 2000 cover "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" by London-based dj/producer Roy Merchant (who also mixed Lippy's cover of "Hey Goodbye" on the album) and a remix of "Boy" (from the 2019 LP Here We Are) by OK Go drummer and acclaimed remixer Dan Konopka.
