Today, we get to hear Maggie Rogers and Sylvan Esso’s radiant cover of ‘Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl’, a song yeule recently breathed new life into with their rendition for the I Saw the TV Glow soundtrack. Check it out below.
“‘Anthems’ is one of those songs that fundamentally changed my life,” Rogers said in a press release. “There’s something about the lyrical repetition that functions as a sort of mantra within the song and it made me understand at a very early point in my creative life that music could be a form of meditation. Broken Social Scene has long been one of my all-time favorite bands and covering it with my dear friends Nick and Amelia from Sylvan Esso was an absolute joy beam dream.”
Sylvan Esso added: “It was a joy to cover this beautiful song with Maggie – we all grew up loving this record – to be asked to cover ’Anthems…’ together was an honor and led to a truly lovely time.”
