For Resistance Radio: The Man in the High Castle Album, Danger Mouse and producer Sam Cohen brought together a number of notable artist to cover songs from the postwar era that the show reimagines. Tracks like Angel Olsen’s version of “Who’s Sorry Now” and Sharon Van Etten’s take on Skeeter Davis’ “The End of the World” well suit the Amazon series’ dystopian vibes. The same goes for the latest taste of the soundtrack, The Shins’ cover of “A Taste of Honey”.

“A Taste of Honey” is a pop standard that originated as an instrumental track before artists like The Beatles and Barbra Streisand gave it vocals in the ’60s. It’s that versions that James Mercer and co. tackle for Resistance Radio, threading in a depressed jazz feel with slow strings and dripping pianos. Take a listen below.
