Born in slumber less than peace…
On the 15th anniversary of War Child’s HELP album,
There can’t be anybody that hasn’t read about
We’ve been plugging the album on these pages through various incarnations and it’s great that Manimal decided to donate all the profits to War Child.
So far the album has been teased with the above four digital releases. Here’s the schedule to date…
MAY 15th: Vivian Girls – John, I?m Only Dancing
JUNE 15th: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Memory Of A Free Festival
JULY 15th: Corridor – Be My Wife
AUGUST 15th: Warpaint – Ashes To Ashes
All of the above are still available via iTunes, where you can pre-order We Were So Turned On too.
Warpaint‘s version of Ashes To Ashes was also released as a split 7″ vinyl 45 with Sister Crayon‘s version of The Bewlay Brothers.
There won’t be a single in September, due to the album release, but stay tuned for exclusive details of the next release in the series along with a contest to win the 45s and the We Were So Turned On double CD.
As far as I am aware the album will be available physically and digitally worldwide on September 6th, aside from Europe which won’t get the CD release until October 11th.
