My wife Rachel doesn't like metal all that much, but she does like Feist. I think she's pretty cool too, having appeared quite a bit in one of my favourite bands Broken Social Scene. However, now she's joined the ranks of supercool, having joined forces with one of my metal loves Mastodon! Feist has covered a Mastodon song in her indie pop style, while Mastodon have covered a Feist song in their traditional bombastic heaviness.
And here's the results!
It's funny, the one that Feist performs ends up sounding pretty sinister, and the Mastodon performance is the nearest they've ever got to "happy metal"! I love it when very different styles come together and make something a little bit different in end product. Even Rach likes it :)
