New 135-Track Western North Carolina Benefit Comp Features Previously Unreleased Songs By MJ Lenderman, Sharon Van Etten, Wye Oak, Hotline TNT, & More

1 month ago 11



In the wake of inconceivable destruction from Hurricane Helene, musicians are coming together to help raise funds for organizations doing relief work. Cardinals At The Window, out today, is a 135-track benefit compilation featuring unreleased songs from MJ Lenderman, Sharon Van Etten, Wye Oak, Hotline TNT, and more.

Along with unreleased songs, the compilation is also made up of live tracks. Other artists on the roster include R.E.M., the War On Drugs, Jeff Tweedy, Angel Olsen, Karly Hartzman, Phish, Waxahatchee, Sylvan Esso, Lonnie Holley, Feist, Fleet Foxes, Indigo De Souza, Little Brother, the Hold Steady, Tim Heidecker, Archers Of Loaf, Iron & Wine, The Avett Brothers, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, the Mountain Goats, Jason Isbell, Real Estate, and many more. Proceeds go to Rural Organizing and Resilience, BeLoved Asheville, and the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina.

“There were just so many folks who, like us, had witnessed the destruction of these holy places from the outside and felt their hearts trying to break out of their chests,” says musician and community organizer Libby Rodenbough. “It was instant, the way people signed on. They also feel what I feel, that these mountains are the cradle of some deep and ineffable magic.”
