Tegan and Sara - Turnpike Ghost (Steel Train Cover)

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.
"Turnpike Ghost" sounds like it was a natural fit for Tegan & Sara (especially the song's faster verses), so this song really comes off like a duet between the bands. Grab the original:
