Big Thief, Brian Eno, Michael Stipe, Death Cab & more contribute new songs to Earth Day benefit

Today (4/22) is Earth Day, and Brian Eno‘s EarthPercent foundation is helping raise money for climate charities by getting over 100 music artists to contribute previously unreleased songs to their EarthPercent x Earth Day initiative. It’s an impressive list of artists that includes Eno, Big Thief, Michael Stipe, Peter Gabriel, Coldplay Death Cab, The Weather Station, Jarvis Cocker, Hot Chip (a track that also features Brian Eno and former Savages drummer Fay Milton), Dry Cleaning, Metronomy, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Nile Rodgers & Philippe Saisse, Múm, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Anna Calvi, James, Alfie Templeman, Miho Hatori, S Carey, Mandy Indiana, The Big Moon, ME REX, Squirrel Flower, Courtney Marie Andrews, Fred again.., and more.

“This is what unleashing the power of music in service of the planet looks like,” said Eno in a statement. “Historically music has often been at the front of social change – think of ‘Free Nelson Mandela’ and Rock Against Racism. Now we’re facing climate change, the biggest challenge in human history. It’s time for us to get out there again.”

You can buy songs via Bandcamp for £1.99 (approx $2.50). They aren’t available to stream without buying, but EarthPercent has shared Big Thief’s demo of “Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You,” which you can stream below.
