I enjoy a good split, especially when two bands from different labels get together, combine 3 or 4 tracks a piece and release a unique offering on a completely different label. Here Juno and TDP, labelmates on DeSoto, offer 2 tracks a piece. Each contribute a cover (Juno with DJ Shadow's 'High Noon' and TDP with Jennifer Paige's 'Crush'). The covers are amazing, Juno plays DJ Shadow's collage to a T and the Plan's version of 'Crush' reveals the cruel brooding lyrics behind a mediocre pop tune). The original songs are also worth the price of the ep.
