Thrill Jockey Bands to Cover Each Other
10-10-07
Thrill Jockey Records have rounded up some of their top artists to record new tracks for an upcoming compilation. In celebration of the label’s 15th anniversary, bands were asked to pick a song from a different Thrill Jockey artist and then cover it. The collection will feature both new bands to represent the label as well as some of the classic artists that Thrill Jockey built its name on. It will be released as a vinyl boxed set; nine 7-inch albums. Look for it on December 4th.
