Joanna Sternberg, Rostam, and Wednesday headline the roster of musicians who’ve contributed cover songs to Fader Label’s latest compilation, aimed at raising funds for transgender rights groups. The album has just dropped and will be exclusively available on Bandcamp for a 30-day window. After that, it will vanish into the digital ether for those who missed the chance to snag it. Give the compilation a listen by following the link below.
Notable mentions include Joanna Sternberg swapping covers with Caroline Rose, Wednesday putting their own spin on “Christian Brothers” from Elliott Smith’s eponymous album, and Ezra Furman tackling Big Thief’s “12,000 Lines.” Additionally, DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ remixes Kylie Minogue’s classic “It’s No Secret,” Rostam gives his take on Lucinda Williams’ “Change the Locks,” Fire-Toolz collaborates with Sling Beam to reimagine Rush’s “Tai Shan,” and Georgia Anne Muldrow covers Tina Turner’s iconic hit, “The Best.”
The generated revenue will be equitably divided among three organizations supporting transgender rights: the Transgender Law Center in the U.S., Mermaids in the U.K., and the Rainbow Railroad in Canada. A special shoutout to Chicago Mastering, who have graciously donated their mastering expertise for this cause.
