Comps!

I’m smitten with two recent releases, both comprised of various artists covering some classics:

1. Perfect as Cats: A Tribute to The Cure
Cure covers are ever-abundant and often wack. But Manimal Vinyl has released a fantastic LP with contributions from tons of artists – including The Muslims, Indian Jewelry, Bat For Lashes, The Dandy Warhols, and my dear friends in Gangi. Only 2,000 copies of the double disc format will be released (with proceeds going to the Invisible Children charity) so pick yours up ASAP.
Also, you can sample some of the tracks here.


2. I’ll Stay ‘Til After Christmas
Force Field PR’s Daniel Gill worked out this lil’ number. Parenthetical Girls, Blitzen Trapper, Au, and My Brightest Diamond are featured on the holiday-themed release, which has a delicate and nostalgic flair. And much like the aforementioned Cure cover album, I’ll Stay ‘Til After Christmas will also be donating proceeds to a good cause ‚Äì in this case, Amnesty International.
