The indie rock tribute album to Fleetwood Mac, Just Tell Me You Want Me, got considerably more timely with last week’s announcement that the Mac would be reuniting for a tour. So this is a good time to celebrate the band’s evergreen catalog, which we’ve been doing a lot lately, with posts on Best Coast x “Rhiannon” (better than Cosentino’s non-comp take on “Storms”), New Pornographers’ reverent and great take on “Think About Me,” Lee Ranaldo Band with J Mascis on “Albatross,” The Kills on “Dreams,” and covers by Lykke Li, MGMT, and Antony. It’s been a veritable landslide.

Today’s look comes from Washed Out, who sources “Straight Back,” the Nicks-fronted cut from 1982’s soft rocking, Tusk followup Mirage. In its original instance, the song has a smooth luster and dreamy mid-tempo dance pulse, which is to say it is apropos putty in Washed Out’s hands, who ratchets up the dance and gives it all a beachfront Balearic shimmer. The show-closing, “Oh”-facing Buckingham guitar solo is translated here into slippery slide-guitar-isms, which is a nice look for Washed Out. If Fleetwood Mac vacationed in Ibiza:
