Watch: Cults – “Everybody Knows” (Leonard Cohen cover in studio)

Though some cell-phone quality footage of this tune appeared on the net a couple weeks back, The Guardian has hooked us up with a studio session version of the cover, originally by Leonard Cohen in 1988. The tune (“Everybody Knows”) is part of a series of Leonard Cohen covers called Old Ideas With New Friends that will be coming out gradually, featuring among others Bradford Cox and A.C. Newman. For now, watch Cults performing “Everybody Knows” below and check out our review of Leonard Cohen’s new album, Old Ideas, here.
