In addition to being embraced by both critics and Krist Novoselic, Post Malone’s recent charity set of Nirvana covers raised coffers of cash for COVID-19 relief. Now, the face-tattooed rap-rocker is seeing one of his own cuts covered, this time by another artist that, at least on the surface, doesn’t appear to occupy the same air: Dashboard Confessional.
Chris Carrabba’s enduring emo outfit debuted a tender, Dashboard-ey cover of Posty’s “Circles” in a Spotify Singles session released this week. Recorded pre-COVID at Electric Lady Studios, the cover is accompanied by a version of bygone weeper “Screaming Infidelities” that exudes a wistful sense of reflection, as if Carrabba himself is thoughtfully musing on the overwrought lyrics he penned two decades ago.
Give both a listen below.

Honestly, I think the Of Monsters & Men cover (an Amazon Music exclusive) of the song is better than the Dashboard Confessional version….as I come to the realization that every artist I’ve ever liked will have their own cover of Post Malone’s “Circles.” (Your move, Phil Collins!)
