Turntable Kitchen recently commissioned Yumi Zouma to cover a classic record in its entirety for the site's Sounds Delicious subscription service. After months of deliberation, the Yumis eventually landed on Oasis' landmark 1995 LP (What's the Story) Morning Glory...

The synthwave OGs cover the cultural phenomenon that is the Stranger Things main theme:

Autre Ne Veut pays heartfelt tribute to the legend:

Mike Simonetti + Liz Wight — aka Pale Blue — share a floating, beautifully ethereal cover of Big Star's 1972 song "Thirteen".
