After recording some killer cover versions of Bryan Ferry or Frederick Loewe, Masha now sings The Cure's »Boys Don't Cry«. After more than 30 years of heavy indie-disco rotation, you might be sick of that song, but Masha's version is just too clever: First she adds a rhythmic Kelis-citation (»Trick Me«). This also brings (even more) gender twist here, as it may be seen as a comment on Robert Smiths elaborated moaning. Later she simply skips that momentum, that wants to make you sing along – by freezing the song.

On the flip, the guitar work of James McNew (Yo La Tengo, Dump) guitar adds some gentle funk to Masha's recent single »Fishing Buddies«.
