Bon Iver is teaming up with Peter Gabriel to release a split 7" single on Record Store Day, which is happening April 17 this year. The single, which will only be available at independent record stores, will feature Gabriel's cover of Bon Iver's "Flume", a track that appeared on Gabriel's covers album Scratch My Back, on one side. On the other, Bon Iver will return the favor by covering "Come Talk to Me", a seven-minute song from Gabriel's 1992 Us album.

Bird and the Bee cover Hall & Oates' 'Sara Smile'
When multi-instrumentalist and producer Greg Kurstin (he’s worked with everyone from Britney and Kylie to Lily Allen and Little Boots) and singer-songwriter Inara George, a.k.a. indie-pop duo The Bird and the Bee, take on a covers album, they aim high. Like, Hall & Oates high.
The third full-length from the duo will be the faux-loftily titled Interpreting the Masters, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall & John Oates, featuring their take on H&O classics like “Maneater,” “Rich Girl,” “Private Eyes” and the exclusive-to-EW ballad “Sarah Smile.” (March 23 release date)
