LOCAL CORRESPONDENTS PRESENTS SONGS FOR JAPAN
Compilation Mix on Bandcamp to Benefit Relief Efforts

The musicians of Brooklyn’s Local Correspondents, compelled by the recent tragedy in Japan, created a compilation mix, available April 19th at localcorrespondents.bandcamp.com/album/songs-for-japan. All 16 tracks can be downloaded for a minimum donation of $5 and a suggested donation of $10. One hundred percent of the proceeds raised will benefit the continuing global relief efforts of The American Red Cross.

The tracks on this mix include several previously unreleased recordings, and the compilation was remastered by Aaron Nevezie at The Bunker Studio. The album artwork is by Catharina Bruns at workisnotajob. This release has been made possible by these generous donations of talent.
