Los Angeles Rising fire benefit compilation features PJ Harvey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Cave
A new compilation to benefit those affected by the California wildfires has just been released, titled Los Angeles Rising. The album was organized by Kevin Haskins (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets) and producer Nick Launay, and features unreleased music from PJ Harvey, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Jarvis Cocker, Devo, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Primal Scream and more, and it’s available on Bandcamp. Check out the tracklist below and hear PJ Harvey’s “Red River.” Proceeds will be donated to Sweet Relief.
“As the wildfires were raging and destroying thousands of homes around Los Angeles, both my neighbourhood and Nick’s were instructed to evacuate. But we were the lucky ones. The fire threatening our homes and recording studios was thankfully extinguished by firefighters just minutes away, but countless musicians and friends lost everything” Kevin Haskins said in a statement.
“This harrowing experience and witnessing the monumental destruction of entire communities, inspired Nick and I to team up to create a compilation album to raise money for the less fortunate. We reached out to our musician friends for unreleased recorded gems and the response was incredible! PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, Primal Scream, Gary Numan and Devo are just some of the artists that rushed in to help”
