Multiple artists are set to be featured on the upcoming compilation project Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy Vol. 2, which follows the first volume that came out earlier this month. This upcoming compilation is set to feature unreleased tracks from alternative rock outfit Pearl Jam, electronica group Little Dragon and rock icon David Byrne. This project is set to be released on Bandcamp this October 2 for a period of 24 hours to coincide with the Bandcamp fundraiser.

Other artists who are set to have unreleased songs featured on this compilation include the Postal Service, Black Pumas, Mark Ronson, Yoko Ono, Big Boi and Sleepy Brown, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Chicano Batman, the late John Prine, Phoenix, Tunde Adebimpe (TVOTR), Yola, Sturgill Simpson, Arcade Fire and Nilüfer Yanya

The first Good Music To Avert The Collapse Of American Democracy featured the likes of Paramore’s Hayley Williams, Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace and Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy. All of the proceeds for this upcoming record will go toward the Voting Rights Lab, a nonpartisan organization that brings state advocacy, policy and legislative expertise to the fight for voting rights.

“When over $250,000 was raised for the first compilation – in one day – we were floored and it spurred us to do another,” compilation organizer Dave Eggers said in a press release. “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.”
