While the new Wye Oak song actually sounds like Fleetwood Mac, a slew of artists from Lykke Li, Beast Coast, MGMT, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, St. Vincent to The Kills have actually recorded covers of Fleetwood Mac songs for the upcoming A Tribute To Fleetwood Mac album due mid-August.
The picks of the tracks available so far are Lykke Li’s devastating cover of Stevie Nicks’ Rumours outtake ‘Silver Springs’ and Antony’s cover of the classic ‘Landslide’.
