Make sure to download the newest episode of the pmaCAST: Looking Better, Shining Brighter Than You Do, featuring Four Tet, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The xx, Yeasayer, Department of Eagles, Hot Chip and more.

Feist recently lent her voice for Dark Was The Night, a great cause raising awareness and money for HIV/Aids. She appeared on two of the 31 songs that span the 2 discs that make up the compilation.

The first song Feist appears in, “Train Song” features vocals from Death Cab For Cutie/Postal Service vocalist Ben Gibbard. You know how I love boy-girl songs, and I can’t picture a more perfect vocal coupling than Feist and Ben Gibbard. Well maybe Gibbard’s real-life fiance Zooey Deschanel — but I’ll leave my dreams for the dreamers.

Someone must have told Feist  how much I love boy-girl songs, because later in the compilation, she the mic with Grizzly Bear, in the haunting and beautiful “Service Bell.” A lot of the wettest of my indie music dreams were fulfilled just now. Seriously.

I suggest you preview the songs below, then make sure to preorder the album, it’s out 2/17.
