Joanna Sternberg, Rostam, and Wednesday have lent their talents to a newly-released compilation album by Fader Label that aims to support transgender rights groups. This exclusive collection is available starting today exclusively on Bandcamp, but catch it while you can—it will only be up for a month before disappearing forever for those who didn’t grab it.
Highlights to keep an eye (or ear) on: Joanna Sternberg and Caroline Rose swap covers of each other’s songs; Wednesday delivers a rendition of “Christian Brothers” from Elliott Smith’s eponymous album; Ezra Furman takes a swing at Big Thief’s “12,000 Lines”; DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ spices up Kylie Minogue’s “It’s No Secret”; Rostam takes on Lucinda Williams’ “Change the Locks”; Fire-Toolz collaborates with Sling Beam for a unique take on Rush’s “Tai Shan”; and Georgia Anne Muldrow goes full throttle on Tina Turner’s classic “The Best.”
The net proceeds from the album will be divided equally among three major organizations advocating for trans rights: The Transgender Law Center in the United States, Mermaids in the United Kingdom, and Canada’s Rainbow Railroad. Chicago Mastering has generously provided mastering services free of charge.

Rostam covering Lucinda Williams? This I gotta hear. Unexpected but I’m all in.
so cool that they’re supporting trans rights. but only one month? gotta set a reminder so i dont forget to buy it.
One month only? That’s some exclusivity. But for a good cause tho, can’t complain.
