Covers 80's is the seventh album by American singer/songwriter Duncan Sheik. It was released on Sneaky Records in 2011. The album is composed of covers of songs by British artists originally released in the 1980s.
Singer Holly Brook, who appeared on Sheik's album Whisper House, and Rachael Yamagata, who has toured with Sheik for various concerts, contribute backing vocals throughout this album.
The album was released to mixed reviews. National Public Radio raved, "No nostalgia here, only genuine feeling, and the challenge to reconsider what might really be worth reviving."
