Tegan & Sara – “Turnpike Ghost” (Steel Train Cover) (Stereogum Premiere)
Steel Train opened for Tegan & Sara this winter, which may be where they got the idea for Terrible Thrills Vol. 1 , an album of female artists covering songs from their upcoming self-titled album. Their list of covers artists is impressive: In addition to Tegan & Sara, they’ve recruited Scarlett Johansson , Holly Miranda , Deradoorian , Alia Shawkat, and Amanda Palmer . Tegan & Sara’s interpretation was made with help from RAC ‘s Andre Allen Anjos, who turns it into a rollerskate jam with lots of tinkling keyboards and a simple bass melody taken from the original’s drums.
