Artists including R.E.M., Faye Webster, Death Cab For Cutie, and MJ Lenderman are among a raft of artists who have contributed music to a 90-song compilation of unreleased recordings benefitting victims of the L.A. wildfires. Good Music To Lift Los Angeles will be available for just 24 hours exclusively via Bandcamp this Friday, February 7, and will cost $20.25. Money riased through sales of the album will be donated to California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund and the L.A. Food Bank. Bandcamp has confirmed it will donate 100% of their share of the album’s sales to MusiCares.
The compilation features a mix of new music, covers, remixes, live versions, and unreleased demos. Dawes – whose members lost their homes in the Eaton Fire – are involved, as too are The War on Drugs, Madi Diaz, Modest Mouse, Neko Case, Mac DeMarco, Courtney Barnett, TV on the Radio, Soccer Mommy, Toro Y Moi, Perfume Genius, and Blondshell.
Other artists with music on Good Music To Lift Los Angeles include Animal Collective, The Armed, Cassandra Jenkins, cumgirl8, Friko, Hotline TNT, Interpol, Jeff Tweedy, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Little Dragon, Local Natives, Militarie Gun, Porches, PUP, Real Estate, This Is Lorelei, Ty Segall, and Water From Your Eyes.
“We only had a few weeks to put this compilation together and are absolutely humbled by the contributions,” Good Music co-founder and Brilliant Corners Artist Management partner Jordan Kurland said in a statement. “Music is a healing force and we hope this collection of songs, in addition to raising much needed recovery funds, provides some solace.”
