Yoko Ono has assembled an impressive line-up of leading indie artists for her forthcoming covers album, 'Yes, I'm A Witch'.
Pitchfork reports that Peaches, Le Tigre, Cat Power, Polyphonic Spree, Antony Hegarty, The Flaming Lips and The Sleepy Jackson will all feature on the album, a kind of remix/covers/duets hybrid.Ono gave the artists exclusive access to her entire back catalogue, asking them to choose a song, then - according to a press release - "provided [them] with the vocals and whatever other instrumental elements attracted them from that cut. Almost all the artists chose just the vocals." The artists then went on to create a new version of the track.
