No need to f*** around here: White-haired, blue-eyed former Doobie Brother and Steely Dan member Michael McDonald sings Grizzly Bear's "While You Wait for the Others" on the flip side to the band's new single, which is currently available on iTunes and 7" via their official site. And he's not doing backup vocals you can barely hear or whatever-- dude takes the lead on this version in every possible way.
Even in the realm of stunt-y, generation-crossing collaborations, this is fucking weird. McDonald's soul holler could not be more different than original singer Daniel Rossen's troubled warble. (PITCHFORK)
