“Don’t Dream It’s Over,” first reentered the covers stratosphere with Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande’s adorable rendition for the Happy Hippie Foundation earlier this year. Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner (under her solo moniker Flock of Dimes) and Sylvan Esso also covered the Crowded House jam for AV Club’s Undercover series, and as much as I loved Miley and Ariana’s take, this one may have it beat.

Wasner and Amelia Meath (of Sylvan Esso) harmonize in the dreamiest way imaginable. The tourmates covered both this and f Gillian Welch’s “Everything Is Free,” which will be available on a limited edition vinyl later this year.
