A number of high profile artists including Anna Calvi, Moby, Algiers, Daniel Avery, Sad13, Cold Specks, Rhys Chatham, Rituals of Mine and M83 alumni J. Laser will be contributing new original music for an upcoming fundraiser album titled The Longest Day. This charity album will use its funds to help support the Alzheimer’s Association’s yearly fundraiser, and will be released by Mon Amie Records.
Influential 1980s alternative rock outfit New Order will also be releasing an extended mix of “Nothing But A Fool” on vinyl for the first time as a part of this compilation record. This song was originally featured on the group’s 2015 studio album Music Complete.

Calvi released a reworked version of her album Hunter titled Hunted earlier this year, which had guest appearance from Charlotte Gainsbourg. Moby also released an album earlier this year titled All Visible Objects.
Sad13, the solo project of former Speedy Ortiz lead single Sadie Dupuis, released a song for the Adult Swim Singles series titled “WTD” back in May.
