A host of Canadian artists have contributed original music and covers to a new compilation in support of Black, Indigenous and LGBTQ2S charities.
The 32-track Ever New is available to stream and purchase through Bandcamp, and features tracks from Mac DeMarco, Jessy Lanza, Ryan Hemsworth, Yves Jarvis, Chad VanGaalen, Harrison, LAL, Sarah Davachi, Luna Li, Badge Époque Ensemble, FRIGS, Zoon, nêhiyawak's Matthew Cardinal and more.
Ever New takes its name from composer Beverly Glenn-Copeland's 1986 song of the same title, with a cover of that tune from the Head (Joseph Shabason and Thom Gill) leading off the comp.
The listen is bookended by a cover of Glenn-Copeland's "DL4" by Jennifer Castle, while Ever New also finds Owen Pallett covering Nick Drake, Lydia Ainsworth covering Chic, Chastity covering the Tragically Hip, Tess Roby covering Moon King and Cindy Lee covering Jandek.
Exclusively available through Bandcamp, 100 precent of Ever New sales proceeds will go to Black Health Alliance, Indspire and The 519. Find a tracklist below, ahead of streaming and purchasing the complete compilation here.
Ever New was curated by Max Mertens and Sarah Mackenzie, while its stunning artwork comes courtesy of Alex Sheriff. Technical support was provided by Adam Hodgins and LANDR.
