​Broken Social Scene Cover Tom Waits' "I Don't Wanna Grow Up"

Broken Social Scene returned with Hug of Thunder earlier this year, and the Toronto collective are closing out 2017 by delivering a couple more musical gifts.
 
The band have shared a two-song Spotify session that features a new recording of "Skyline," as well as a cover of Tom Waits' Bone Machine cut "I Don't Wanna Grow Up."
 
The BSS rendition of the track is a lot less ramshackle than the original, swapping out the gravelly vocals and gritty sound for a softer, sweeter, more melodic version of Waits' tune.
 
Listen to the recently recorded versions of "Skyline" and "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" below. Hug of Thunder is available on double vinyl through Umusic.
