Watch Miracles of Modern Science cover Foo Fighters’ “Everlong”

Since starting at Princeton University 10 years ago, Miracles of Modern Science haven almost perfected working arena-sized songs to symphonic-style composition. The Brooklyn-based band have worked this into their own material such as their debut album, Dog Years in 2011 and their upcoming LP, Mean Dreams, which is due out on August 14th. The band have excelled in their cover songs such as hits like Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”, Charli XCX’s “Break the Rules”, and Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks”.

The latest cover is “Everlong” by the Foo Fighters. Due to the anthem status and its part in David Letterman’s emotional send-off this week, it was an ambitious cover for the band. Even with that much ambition, they perform it exceptionally especially with instruments such as the violin, mandolin, and cello. Watch the performance below.
