Watch Bradford Cox cover Leonard Cohen's “Seems So Long Ago, Nancy”

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. Check out the cover here, via Pitchfork.
