Mastodon and Feist have something special for 'Record Store Day' April 21st. "Feistodon" will be a split 7" with Mastodon covering the Feist song 'A Commotion' and Feist covering Mastodon's 'Black Tongue'.
In a interview with Sweden's Metalshrine, Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor explained the idea. "We did [the BBC television show 'Later... With Jools Holland'], and right after we got off stage, we went backstage and we were in the hallway with [Feist], and she was talking to [Mastodon vocalist/guitarist] Brent Hinds]. They were involved in a conversation and were just like, 'Yeah, let's do that! We should do it for Record Store Day!' Something out of left field and something we'd like to be involved with more of.""It's fun for us. I mean, most times we end up doing covers of bands that are already sort of heavy or that is already in that vein, like the Melvins, Thin Lizzy, Metallica, you know what I mean? What are you gonna do to those songs to make them your own? It's kinda difficult and especially with stuff like Metallica or the Melvins where we're so kinda familiar and in love with the versions that Metallica and the Melvins and Thin Lizzy have created, you wanna make it sound like theirs because that's what you're so used to hearing. You don't really wanna mess with it. With Feist, it's something that we could really play with and do something different with." Said Dailor.
