Glass Animals have combined Yeah Yeah Yeahs' and Erykah Badu together for the fantastic composition of "Gold Lime".

The mash-up style cover of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' “Gold Lion” and Badu's “The Healer” is to celebrate their forthcoming free show this weekend at Central Park SummerStage in New York.

The band wrote on Soundcloud:

So on the 9th August we are playing the Central Park SummerStage in New York…and because its such an exciting moment for us all, we decided to take a song from a New York band that we love, and then Glass Animalsify it…

...then we thought…why do a cover of one song when you can cover two at the same time?

so here it is! its called Gold Lime

and its a cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and . simultaneously.

p.s. we know erykah badu is not from new york. but she’s awesome.

The way they've crafted two very different tracks together to make something entirely new and unique is a very rare skill.

As we’ve come to expect from Glass Animals, this mash-up ticks all the right boxes.
