We’re tired of the achingly sincere amateurs and questionable remixes. Where’s an indie contemporary’s premature spin on the ninth best song of the decade? Some of us have blogs to blog! Enter “Young Folks”/ex-Concretes singer Victoria Bergsman aka Taken By Trees. Her terrific, foreign born East Of Eden includes “My Boys,” a jaunty and vaguely tropical take on Merriweather‘s celebrated single that messes around with gender roles. Everyone needs adobe slabs.
East Of Eden is out 9/8 via Rough Trade.

Wow! I haven’t heard a cover this good since St. V covered Nico.
glook, she laced it quite lovely
It’s actually a good song now!
if only she could have taken the place of AC at the bandshell a few weeks back…i would have left there much, much happier.
no heart. like some computer program scanned the original and there’s a robot singing it now.
Wow, this is going to really polarize people.
There was a song under there after all.
did anyone notice any.. give me, your eyes, i need, sunshine.
yeah dude i totally picked that up too. gotta love that subtle krug influence.
YES!
First thing i heard.
No me gusta.
Pretty boring and unnecessary.
it’s adobe slats! weeeeeee
this is great! it’s had to cover Animal Collective
This is amazing. All of the elements of this song are perfect!
I do believe i hear a Wolf Parade’s I’ll Believe in Anything guitar riff around the :49 mark
Appearing in a Target commercial in 3…2…1…
awsome.
Pure genius reworked from slightly over-hyped but nevertheless geniusosity
Stop complaining about AC’s My Girls. It is a good song, even if it is slightly overhyped to the point of insanity. Though I do like this version better, it’s catchier than the original.
No whistling?
5/10
i finally want to listen to the story this song wants to tell. more appetizing than most of Merriweather.
Great!!

Did anyone else notice ” Give me, your eyes, I need, sunshine”?
Something about this song makes me want a Coca-Cola
God damnit. I’m so sick of mousy girls playing plastic pianos and trying to sound melancholy. If you’re going to make a masturbatory cover, at least cover a song that wasn’t one of the most awesome and popular songs of the year.
