With Leonard Cohen fans poring over his just-released 'Old Ideas' album (which you can stream here), we knew it was just a matter of time before more Cohen covers came in. New York indie darlings Cults were quick on the draw here, too -- though they opted for an older track from the legendary singer-songwriter's expansive catalogue.

The pop-minded duo have revamped Leonard Cohen's 1988 track 'Everybody Knows,' and you can watch them perform it below courtesy of The Guardian. Check out Cults couple Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin tackle the wonderfully cynical song from Cohen's 'I'm Your Man' album, joining the ranks of artists like Rufus Wainwright and Concrete Blonde who've reinterpreted the classic.
