“Everybody Knows” by Cults // Originally by Leonard Cohen 

Columbia records have posted a great quality live, in-studio take of Cults taking on one of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs, “Everybody Knows”. It’s a pretty great version, but I think almost anyone who was around for Pump Up the Volume” will agree that it doesn’t hold a candle to Concrete Blonde’s killer rendition (it’s hard to beat Johnette Napolitano’s voice), then again - that’s a pretty high bar in which to hold someone. That being said, definitely check it out because Cults do some pretty cool things with the arrangement. Taking it from a slow burning, eerie hymnal to a dark, charging, almost trip-hop take on the original. Definitely check it out.
