Nov 11, 2016 of Montreal By Christopher Roberts

The great Champaign, Il based indie record label Polyvinyl turns 20 this year. To honor that, on November 25th they are putting out a new compilation, Polyvinyl Plays Polyvinyl, in which its artists cover other artists on the label. And today they have shared another track from the comp: of Montreal covering Jacco Gardner’s “Find Yourself,” originally found on the Dutch psych-pop musician’s excellent 2015 album Hypnophobia. Kevin Barnes slows down the song and takes a more lo-fi approach. Listen below, followed by the original version.

When Polyvinyl Plays Polyvinyl was announced four of the tracks from the compilation were shared: Deerhoof covering Xiu Xiu’s “Hi” in the style of White Reaper, Beach Slang taking on Japandroids’ “Younger Us,” The Dodos doing their version of American Football’s “Never Meant,” and Owen covering Rainer Maria’s “Ears Ring.” Listen to all of those here.
