Milk Carton Kids

"Wish You Were Here" (Pink Floyd cover)

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Oct 7, 2015

The Milk Carton Kids told a fresh set of tales from the road on this year's Monterey, and now they've offered up a take on a psychedelic classic with a cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here."
 
The Los Angeles-based duo spin the song into their own folksy style with two-part harmonies and gentle acoustic guitars. It was recorded in front of a live audience with a single microphone, capturing a modern yet nostalgic take on the tune.
