Covers can be a tricky business, as we saw with the mostly bad to worse Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T. Rex (Nick Cave’s “Cosmic Dancer” is one exception). Sharon Van Etten’s upcoming epic Ten will be a double LP which includes a reissue of her 2010 album Epic plus track-by-track covers by Big Red Machine, IDLES, Lucinda Williams, Shamir, Courtney Barnett, St Panther and Fiona Apple.
Here’s a taste of epic Ten featuring the IDLES smashing version of “Peace Signs”.
epic Ten is out April 16th.
