David Byrne and Devo, Courtney Barnett, The War On Drugs and Starcrawler vocalist Arrow De Wilde are among the artists who've contributed exclusive songs to a new compilation record benefitting abortion access and reproductive rights.
Noise For Now Vol. 2 will be released on June 21, to tie in around the second anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, removing federal protections for abortion, and giving states the right to decide whether to restrict or ban abortion. The limited edition album will have a one-time pressing on vinyl and will also be available digitally. 90% of proceeds will go to Keep Our Clinics.
“We are so grateful to work with these incredible artists to raise money and awareness for independent abortion clinics throughout the US,” says Noise For Now Executive Director Amelia Bauer. “We know that when the artists and performers we love speak openly and unapologetically about abortion, abortion is stripped of its stigma. We believe that we can shape our future with art, community, and collective action.”
The tracklisting for the compilation is:
