Good Music Compilation Supporting L.A. Fire Recovery Available For 24 Hours Only This Friday

Good Music announced Good Music To Lift Los Angeles, a 90-song compilation to support L.A. fire recovery. The Bandcamp exclusive is available for 24 hours only this Friday, Feb. 7, with net proceeds earmarked for the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recover Fund and Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. The genre-spanning compilation will be available starting at 12:00 AM/PT for $20.25. 

The project features previously unreleased recordings including never-before-heard new songs, covers, remixes, live versions and unreleased demos. Artists contributing to the compilation include Dawes – whose members lost their homes in the Eaton Fire, The Postal Service + Death Cab for Cutie with their live cover of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence,” R.E.M., Faye Webster, The War on Drugs, MJ Lenderman, Madi Diaz, Modest Mouse, Neko Case, Mac DeMarco, Courtney Barnett, TV on the Radio, Soccer Mommy, Toro Y Moi, Perfume Genius, Blondshell and many more.

Good Music reached out to people across the industry to put together Good Music To Lift Los Angeles with 100 percent of net proceeds going back to affected communities. As part of their own fundraising effort, Bandcamp will donate 100 percent of their share of album sales to MusiCares.

“We only had a few weeks to put this compilation together and are absolutely humbled by the contributions,” noted Good Music co-founder and Brilliant Corners Artist Management partner Jordan Kurland in a release. “Music is a healing force and we hope this collection of songs, in addition to raising much needed recovery funds, provides some solace.”

Good Music to Lift Up Los Angeles features cover art by Cleon Peterson, an Altadena, California-based artist who lost his home and studio in Eaton Fire. The album was mastered by Levi Seitz at Black Belt Mastering and The Hawkins Project has helped as a fiscal sponsor for this compilation, minimizing the costs of selling albums and quickly delivering collected funds where they are needed.

Good Music To Lift Los Angeles is produced by Brilliant Corners Artist Management, Dave Eggers, Grandstand Media, Like Management, Panache Management, Q Prime and TMWRK. It is the latest fundraising project from the Good Music project, which was founded by Eggers and Kurland to give artists a platform to have their voices heard while raising money for progressive causes.
