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.
Grizzly Bear have finally released their gorgeous “While You Wait For The Other,” and amazingly enough, Michael McDonald can be heard covering the song on the B-side. You can’t help but smile when you hear McDonald’s deep baritone voice hit the track singing.
If Michael McDonald was going to cover a Grizzly Bear track, “While You Wait For The Others” would be the one. The cover is nearly identical to the original, but McDonald throws in his signature blue-eyed soul howls, kicking ass and taking names. A great listen, sure, but it really misses the spot Grizzly Bear’s version hits so well. Listen to the cover here or get it on iTunes, or order the 7″.

This is simultaneously awesome and hilarious. Thanks for the DL.
Seriously, I agree with the guy above me. This is epic. Yacht Rock FTW
oh my god. Michael McDonald OWNS this track. It’s magnificent.
This absolutely made my day.
Luis, I disagree. I think it hits that spot just as well as Grizzly Bear.
It may seem all wrong, but it sounds amazing.
Fantastic. Thanks for posting this.
