Jenny Lewis, Arcade Fire, David Byrne & More Appear on Second Volume of Voting Rights Compilation

Jenny Lewis, David Byrne, Arcade Fire, Pearl Jam, Bright Eyes and many more artists contributed to the second volume of the voting rights compilation Good Music To Avert The Collapse Of American Democracy, available exclusively on Bandcamp.

The compilation is only available to purchase for 24 hours starting this Friday (Oct. 2), and it features demos, covers and new songs from over 75 artists. 100% of the net proceeds will benefit Voting Rights Lab, a nonpartisan organization fighting for voting rights.

Volume 1 of the compilation raised over a quarter of a million dollars, inspiring the organizers to put together another one.

“When over $250,000 was raised for the first compilation — in one day — we were floored and it spurred us to do another,” Dave Eggers, author and album organizer said. “We thought we’d get twenty musicians, tops, for this second one, but in about ten days, 77 bands and singers came through. It was a flood. Every day, the urgency of this election becomes clearer, so we’re trying to send as much money into voter access as we can. The compilation is a bit of concentrated hope.”

Good Music To Avert The Collapse Of American Democracy, Volume 2 is available for purchase starting Friday morning here. Keep scrolling for the full compilation tracklist and album art from Shepard Fairey.
