A few months ago, Mastodon let it slip that they and Feist would each be covering a respective song from one another in celebration of Record Store Day. This year April 21st is when Record Store Day will officially be celebrated, so in anticipation, more info has been released:
Mastodon / Feist “A Commotion”/ “Black Tongue” (7″ vinyl single)
A very exclusive and highly anticipated RSD pressing features Mastodon covering the Feist song “A Commotion,” while Feist covers Mastodon’s “Black Tongue.” A unique and highly buzzed-about Record Store Day prize.
A quick YouTube search shows that Feist's song is pretty mellow (no shocker) so I am excited to hear what Mastodon come up with for this cover:

But that's not all! Mastodon will also be releasing a 7-inch covering the Flaming Lips. From the press release:
The Flaming Lips / Mastodon: “A Spoonful Weighs A Ton” (7″ baby pink vinyl single)
The mighty Mastodon faithfully covers the Lips classic “Spoonful Weighs a Ton,” from The Soft Bulletin album. Ferociously beautiful!
Looks like Record Store Day will be a fun day for Mastodon fans.
