If your whole existence revolves around live music, the last year has been — obviously — difficult. As the pandemic wore on, the website JamBase decided to start a new project while shows were on hold, a way to have a fundraiser to bolster the site amidst lost revenue. That’s culminated in Cluster Flies, a tribute to Phish’s 2000 album Farmhouse.

The original Farmhouse tracklist features 12 songs, but Cluster Flies reimagines and reorders the album by featuring covers of each of those songs, plus bonus songs from the Japanese edition of Farmhouse, and renditions of songs written during the Farmhouse album but never recorded. Cluster Flies comes in at 17 tracks as a result, and features interpretations by artists like Sylvan Esso, Strand Of Oaks, Ryley Walker, William Tyler, and more.

JamBase is going to roll the compilation out one song at a time, each with a corresponding podcast episode featuring interviews with the artists. The compilation is available for pre-order now, and along with the announcement JamBase have shared Club d’Elf’s version of “Sand.” Check it out below.
