Viagra Boys have paired with Amyl and the Sniffers' Amy Taylor for a chaos-tinged tribute to John Prine. Their version of 'In Spite of Ourselves' will feature as the closing song on forthcoming sophomore album Welfare Jazz, out on YEAR0001 in January.

The single is joined with a green screen video featuring Amy and Viagra Boys frontman Sebastian Murphy performing the tune as if in a karaoke booth. The pair's vocals meld together perfectly: and oddball duo that really highlight the bizareness of some of Prine's lyrics in this hit.
"When I heard 'In Spite' the first time I instantly had an urge to do a cover or it and I instantly knew that I wanted Amy to sing Iris Dement's part," Murphy said, "I love that she sings with an Australian accent which is not too common in country songs I've heard before."
"Sebastian is a classy man but let's be true, we're both insanely feral and gross, so the lyrics are perfect" Taylor added.
