Sharing insight into the process of selecting this particular track to cover, Lunison bandleader Matt Vantine explains, “From the start of the band, we knew we wanted to record a cover song with our fingerprint attached. To find our fingerprint, we wrote and recorded an EP (2024’s “See Me as a Friend”) and a full length album (2025’s “Fakepink”). While touring the albums, we tried a few covers, but none raised the roof the way that Prince’s “When Doves Cry” did. Matt replicated the synthesizer lines with a guitar riff, Pat put some swing on the high hat during the verses and made use of the crash cymbals during the solo, and Greg wrote a funky bass line to give it a real rock vibe. We recorded this with Barrie Maguire as producer and Tim Ferguson doing the master.”
