Did a quick search and haven't found it mentioned here. Only source I've found is a blog so no credibility guaranteed...

The album, out on Virgin Records in February, includes:

[...]

* King's Cross - yes, the Pet Shop Boys song (!) done with harmonium and a brass band..
[...]

The album sounds very promising.

I know she's working on a solo record.
Love Tracey Thorn, she has a great voice and is also kind of beautiful in an ugly way!

iTunes have the album Out Of The Woods available to download now including King's Cross; it's rather lovely.

I've downloaded it from iTunes. She almost sings it like an ambient mix, with just an electric organ as backing.

Unfortunately the song is only available on the UK iTunes. Maybe it might make the US version but I have a feeling that it'll be an "Album only" track but we'll see.

I don't know why I was so excited about it. I listened to the snippet on I-Tunes and I'm not impressed.

Great Vocals the interpretation of the music is very different but as it is a cover you would expect it to be different and not the same that would be very old hat and boring.
