Speaking to their cover of “Anthems For a Seventeen Year-Old Girl,” Rogers said that the track “changed [her] life.” “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.”
Rogers continued, “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.”
