The original compilation released back in 1996 featured tracks from Maxwell, PM Dawn, David Byrne, Everything but the Girl, and Stereolab, plus Brazilian artists Gilberto Gil, Astrud Gilberto, and more. The sequel features collaborations from Cults and Superhuman Happiness, Beck and Seu Jorge, of Montreal and Os Mutantes, and David Byrne and Caetano Veloso, along with solo tracks by John Legend and many others. Other artists, including St. Vincent, Neon Indian, and Dirty Projectors were unable to finish their tracks in time, but Red Hot hopes to release those as digital singles in the future.
Check out the album’s entire tracklist below and head over to Pitchfork to stream Beirut’s contribution, “O Leãozinho”.
This is the second compilation album benefiting Red Hot to be announced recently, with a National-curated Grateful Dead covers album also set for release sometime soon.
