Atlanta progressive metallers MASTODON<\/span> will release a split seven-inch single with Canadian singer-songwriter Feist to celebrate Record Store Day on April 21. This very exclusive and highly anticipated pressing features MASTODON covering the Feist song “A Commotion”, while Feist covers MASTODON’s “Black Tongue”. <\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Sweden’s Metalshrine, MASTODON drummer Brann Dailor explained how the single idea came about. “We did [the BBC television show ‘Later… With Jools Holland’], and right after we got off stage, we went backstage and 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.”<\/p>\n

He
added, “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.”<\/p>\n
