Grizzly Bear's over-hyped, but still pretty damn good, Veckatimest dropped this past May and leaked onto the web long before that. It should then come as no surprise that most fans of "indie" music already have their hands on the record and heard album highlight "While You Wait for the Others."
What they haven't heard is the Michael McDonald version.
As labels are apt to do, Grizzly Bear just released a single for the aforementioned track. As one would expect, the a-side is nothing new. The real treat is the b-side, which has McDonald (of The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, and 40 Year Old Virgin fame) taking over vocal duties from Daniel Rossen.
The result is perplexing, to say the least. McDonald's soulful croon is as radical a departure as possible from Rossen's subtleties, but the track inexplicably retains some level of success.
Hear McDonald's lead and the original for yourself down below...
