Broken Social Scene's 2002 album You Forgot It In People is one of the most important moments in indie rock, and the band is celebrating it by inviting an array of musicians to cover its songs. Today, Maggie Rogers and Sylvan Esso are sharing their rendition of the iconic track "Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old-Girl."
“‘Anthems’ is one of those songs that fundamentally changed my life,” Rogers says. “There’s something about the lyrical repetition that functions as a sort of mantra within the song and it made me understand at a very early point in my creative life that music could be a form of meditation. Broken Social Scene has long been one of my all-time favorite bands and covering it with my dear friends Nick and Amelia from Sylvan Esso was an absolute joy beam dream.”
Sylvan Esso add, “It was a joy to cover this beautiful song with Maggie- we all grew up loving this record — to be asked to cover 'Anthems…’ together was an honor and led to a truly lovely time.”
