Sufjan Stevens To Cover Arthur Russell For Red Hot Comp
A few years ago we heard about This Is How We Walk On The Moon, a crowdfunded Arthur Russell tribute from the Red Hot Organization. Robyn, Laurel Halo, Hot Chip, Washed Out, and Twin Shadow were all announced as participants. While the project was not successfully funded on Kickstarter, it looks like it’s still going forward and, according to a post on his site, Sufjan Stevens will be contributing as well. The compilation would follow recent Red Hot titles like Red Hot + Fela and Dark Was The Night (to which Stevens also contributed). A release date or final tracklist for Walk On The Moon has not been announced, but you can check out a partial tracklist (minus Stevens) via that Kickstarter page below.
