Last month, Vermont’s Chamberlin unveiled their five track covers EP, Chamberlin Cabin Covers EP. Their latest effort finds the band adding their recognizably laid back flair to five of today’s most popular songs by Passion Pit, Cults, Vampire Weekend, Kanye West/Bon Iver, and Foster the People. Recorded this past summer in their cabin tucked away in Vermont, Chamberlin chose which songs to cover based on fan voting through their official website.
Considering the recent regional damage done by Hurricane Irene, Chamberlin is donating the proceeds of their EP to Vermont’s United Way to aid in flood relief, as their famed cabin (pictured on the cover) and its surrounding community was directly affected. In addition, local coffee roaster Vermont Coffee Company has teamed up with the band for this release and created Chamberlin their own roast of coffee, which fans can now purchase online alongside a physical copy of the EP, or at the band’s merch table on their current Nationwide tour!
Listen to Chamberlin’s cover of Kanye West and Bon Iver’s Lost in the World below.

They are also playing Saturday, Nov. 5, in Burlington, VT at Higher Ground.
