ONE AND ONE MAKES TEN

This is just too good to be true. The Red Hot Organization, a movement against AIDS through pop culture, has assembled this little gem. Dark Was The Night is a collection of loose tracks from a variety of folk, indie and alternative artists and it is freakin’ awesome.

Amidst collaborations between artists like Feist and Ben Gibbard (DCFC) or Antony (yes, The Johnsons one) with Bryce Dessner (from The National) you can also find tracks from single groups/artists like Arcade Fire, Beirut, Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, even Stuart Murdoch (from Belle & Sebastian)… and the list goes on:

• Andrew Bird
• Antony + Bryce Dessner
• Arcade Fire
• Beach House
• Beirut
• Blonde Redhead + Devastations
• Bon Iver
• Bon Iver & Aaron Dessner
• The Books featuring Jose Gonzalez
