MASTODON, FEIST Release Digital Version Of Record Store Day Split-Single
July 31, 2012, 12 years ago
Today, July 31st, MASTODON and FEIST released a digital version of their popular 7" vinyl single, 'A Commotion' / 'Black Tongue', via Warner Bros. Records and Cherrytree/Interscope Records. The tracks are available at all participating digital retailers.
This highly sought after release will also include a special Interactive 'A Commotion' music video directed by Vice Cooler, and available to view below. The video is launched by an HTML5 "Feistodon" video app that allows users to crossfade between Feist and Mastodon's versions of "A Commotion" to make their own unique versions.
The "Feistodon" split-single was one of the most in-demand exclusives during Record Store Day this past April 21st. It features Mastodon covering the Feist song 'A Commotion', from her current highly acclaimed current album Metals (Interscope), while Feist covers Mastodon's 'Black Tongue' - a track from the Atlanta rock band's critically lauded present album The Hunter. Only 5000 color vinyl 7" singles were pressed up and sold out instantly.
Mastodon and Leslie Feist met while appearing on the same episode of UK talk show Later... with Jools Holland last October. They were both so impressed with each other's performances that they decided to work together.
Mastodon recently wrapped up a European tour supporting The Hunter. The band will return to England in August to perform at the Reading and Leeds festivals on the following dates:
August
25 - Reading Festival - Reading, UK26 - Leeds Festival - Leeds, UK
