It was just last month when LA based rapper Ty Dolla $ign shared his track produced by Diplo, “Stand For” and now the Major Lazer head has shared a brand new radical remix of the song itself. Featuring two of Brooklyn indie rock’s biggest stars: Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear and Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend, the track has now been re-titled “Long Way Home” and replaces Ty‘s verses with Droste‘s gorgeous vocals and some other add-ons from Batmanglij.
[I]t’s about time that indie rock acts started to co-opt rap beats! says Diplo in the song’s original Soundcloud description.
The track feels like the tune one would play at the start of a trip from school or anywhere back to their house/destination. Lush and simply perfect for this chilly winter we’re heading into and just so great to hear it live during Diplo’s India tour with Major Lazer. Get the track for free now from the link below:
