Musician Kevin Haskins (Love and Rockets, Bauhaus) and producer Nick Launay
(Nick Cave, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, IDLES) came together after witnessing the destruction of the homes and livelihoods of not only fellow artists but also of their support structure of crew, publicists, marketing teams and of their collaborators, producers, recording and mastering engineers.
Digging into their own archives for unheard songs, they decided to reach out to
like-minded artists for their own contributions, and the response was overwhelming.
Big names such as Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Jarvis Cocker, Danny Elfman, Gary Numan, and Primal Scream contributed with unreleased material (mostly remixes of old songs) for the cause.
The compil is selling exclusively via Bandcamp. All proceeds from the compilation go to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. A nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance to career musicians and music industry professional’s, who face financial hardships caused by unexpected life altering circumstances.
