New Juliana Hatfield - "Back To Freedom"
It's really hot, but I decided to go without the air conditioner because if I sit just right I can get a slight breeze through the back window and it seems less stale and chemical than Freon. Crazy, maybe, and I'm not sure how long I'll last, but it also feels like the right conditions for doing a post on The Green Owl Comp: A Benefit For The Energy Action Coalition. As the Green Owl label site tells us:
100% of the profits made from the album will be given to support the Energy Action Coalition. The money donated from this compilation will support the people on the ground in the EAC while raising environmental awareness in our community.
The collection's a CD/DVD with previously unreleased tracks and videos (or different versions of previously released songs) by Feist, of Montreal, Bloc Party, Deerhoof, School Of Seven Bells, Pete Yorn, Muse, Asobi Seksu, Dragons Of Zynth, A Place To Bury Strangers, etc. Another of the participants is Stereogum favorite Juliana Hatfield, who offers up "Back To Freedom," a track recorded during the sessions for her upcoming tenth solo album How To Walk Away. We also have the complete track list.
