The Gaslight Anthem have released a cover of Billie Eilish’s Ocean Eyes’. It’s taken from their new EP History Books – Short Stories, which is out today and also features new renditions of ‘Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts’, ‘Positive Charge’, and ‘History Books’. Take a listen below.
“I was driving my daughter to school and she played it for me on the way and I really took to the song,” Brian Fallon shared in a statement. “Then one day we were talking ideas for a cover with our friends and I said, wouldn’t it be cool to do a heavier version of ‘Ocean Eyes’? I tried it out and everybody loved the idea.”
History Books, the Gaslight Anthem’s first album since 2014’s Get Hurt, came out last year.
