Shamir and Mac DeMarco have both covered tracks from '80s group Beat Happening for a Record Store Day 7", which is now streaming online.
The AA-side, released through Bayonet, features versions of "Indian Summer" and "Run Down The Stairs" by DeMarco and Shamir respectively.
Shamir's contribution follows a string of lo-fi releases, such as 2017's Revelations album and last month's Resolution EP and "Room" single. DeMarco is following up most recent record This Old Dog, which arrived last summer.
