“Jordan and I figured a painless way to raise some money would be to ask musicians to donate unreleased tracks, people pay a few bucks for them, and maybe we can edge toward a functioning democracy again.” “It’s going to come down to bringing out and protecting the vote this fall, so the work Fair Fight does is crucial,” Eggers said in a statement.
The collection was executive produced by Dave Eggers, Jordan Kurland and Darius Zelkha, Christian Stavros and Josh Rosenfeld.
Weyes Blood recorded a rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “River,” while the National’s Matt Berninger covered the Cure’s “In Between Days.” Angel Olsen contributed a remix of her song “All Mirrors,” and Death Cab for Cutie included a live version of “The New Year.” My Morning Jacket, Soccer Mommy, Sharon Van Etten, Thurston Moore, Courtney Barnett, Frankie Cosmos and more are also featured.Īll of the comp’s proceeds will be given to Fair Fight, a voters’ rights organization that promotes fair elections around the country through voter education, election reform and combating voter suppression. It includes a live version of R.E.M.’s “Begin the Begin” from 1989, Williams’ Broadcast cover of “Colour Me In” and Bridgers’ voice memo of “Chinese Satellite” from her new album, Punisher. The star-studded, 40-track comp boasts previously unreleased songs, demos, covers and remixes. R.E.M., Phoebe Bridgers, Hayley Williams and more appear on the new compilation Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy, available on Friday for 24 hours only as part of the Bandcamp Fridays series.
