Mac Demarco and Shamir’s Record Store Day release on which they both took a turn covering ’80s Indie Pop lo-fi band Beat Happening is now available via Bandcamp. The release was made in partnership with Revolutions Per Minute, and they are donating proceeds from the album to Immigrant Defense Project (IDP) who work to secure fairness and justice for immigrants in the U.S.
Take a listen to DeMarco’s cover of Indian Summer below which shares a lot in common with the nonchalant laid-back original.

Shamir’s falsetto cover of Run Down the Stairs also seems at home next to the original, keeping that punk edge on which vocal duties were passed to band’s percussionist Heather Lewis.
