Second Good Music… Comp Features 77 Previously Unreleased Tracks From Pearl Jam, David Byrne, Jenny Lewis, & More
Earlier this month, a bunch of artists came together to release a limited-time-only benefit compilation called Good Music To Avert The Collapse Of American Democracy that was up on Bandcamp for only 24 hours before it was removed. This Friday (10/2) is Bandcamp’s next Bandcamp Friday, when the service waives their revenue share, and a second volume of the same compilation series has been announced.
This one is an even larger endeavor than the first, featuring 77 previously unreleased tracks from some huge names, and it too will be available for just 24 hours. This time all proceeds will go toward Voting Rights Lab. It contains new unearthed material from Pearl Jam, David Byrne, John Prine, Jenny Lewis, the Postal Service, Sturgill Simpson, The Gossip, Little Dragon, Bright Eyes, Perfume Genius, Big Boi, Chicano Batman, Black Pumas, Jason Isbell, Arcade Fire, and truly so many more that it’s actually scary. There are also new covers from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Feist, Phoenix, Yola, and, once again, many more.
