Two benefit albums featuring music legends are raising funds for wildfire victims in Los Angeles. 'Los Angeles Rising' boasts unreleased tracks from Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, and Gary Numan, while 'Good Music to Lift Up Los Angeles' includes contributions from Modest Mouse, Interpol, and Toro y Moi. Both albums offer a diverse range of music, from new releases to live recordings and demos, with all proceeds going to support those affected by the devastating fires.
Some of music’s leading figures are at the forefront of two wildfire relief benefit albums, a compilation of new releases, live and previously archived recordings. The records, titled “ Los Angeles Rising” and “Good Music to Lift Up Los Angeles ,” will release on Bandcamp Thursday and Friday, respectively. The former features 16 tracks, including unreleased recordings from legendary Australian outfit Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, Gary Numan, Primal Scream, Devo and Danny Elfman.
“Once they were on board, the response was incredible. It has been a very heartwarming and inspiring experience to witness this wonderful show of humanity, when there’s so much negativity surrounding us these days.” It was befitting that the album cover would be created by longtime Los Feliz denizen and artist Shepard Fairey, who completed his work the day Haskins reached out to him.
