The year-long anniversary celebration starts with the compilation ‘SCORE! 20 Years of Merge Records: The Covers’ of non-Merge bands covering classics from the label’s back catalog. Here’s the stunning Magnetic Fields cover of “Yeah! Oh! Yeah!” by the Swedish Jens Lekman and the Everything But The Girl frontwoman Tracey Thorn.
