We all got a huge Earth Day gift from musician Brian Eno‘s EarthPercent Foundation.
To help raise money for climate organizations, Eno and his staff gathered 100 musicians and bands to contribute a previously-unreleased track for the special EarthPercent x Earth Day initiative.
It’s an impressive list of artists that includes Eno, Big Thief, Michael Stipe, Peter Gabriel, Coldplay Death Cab, The Weather Station, Jarvis Cocker, Hot Chip (a track that also features Brian Eno and former Savages drummer Fay Milton), Dry Cleaning, Metronomy and many more.
See the full tracklist below.
“This is what unleashing the power of music in service of the planet looks like,” said Eno in a statement. “Historically music has often been at the front of social change – think of ‘Free Nelson Mandela’ and Rock Against Racism. Now we’re facing climate change, the biggest challenge in human history. It’s time for us to get out there again.”
You can buy songs via Bandcamp for $2.50 USD.
Unfortunately, the tracks are not available to stream without buying.
Nonetheless, EarthPercent has shared Big Thief’s demo of “Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You,” as a one-off and representative of the album.
