After announcing last week that she’d be releasing epic Ten (a double anniversary album featuring both the original and cover versions of epic) Sharon Van Etten has now unveiled the second of the cover songs. IDLES’ take on “Peace Signs” follows Big Red Machine’s version of “A Crime” that released with last week’s announcement, while tracks from artists like Lucinda Williams, Courtney Barnett, and Fiona Apple are still to come.
On her Instagram, Van Etten explained the origins of her friendship with IDLES.
