Much-buzzed duo Cults have only one 33-minute album to their name, so they need a little more material for their headlining shows. On Friday night, they found some material in a new cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Everybody Knows,” which they debuted at Philly’s Union Transfer.

The song proves a good vehicle for the band’s more atmospheric side. They slow-churn threateningly behind Madeline Follin’s ghostly vocals. Watch a video of the performance below.
