To commemorate the release of Leonard Cohen's latest album, Old Ideas, Columbia Records is putting together the Old Ideas With New Friends covers series. Among those involved is Deerhunter/Atlas Sound mastermind, Bradford Cox, who has a go at “Seems So Long Ago, Nancy”. The track is originally off Cohen's 1969 sophomore album, Songs From a Room. Cox's version is relatively straightforward but beautify executed, and it's especially funny to hear his voice almost subconsciously slip into a low, Cohen-esque baritone.
