But we were the lucky ones,\u201d Haskins said in a press statement. \u201cThe fire threatening our homes and recording studios was thankfully extinguished by firefighters just minutes away, but countless musicians and friends lost everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLaunay added, \u201cThis harrowing experience and witnessing the monumental destruction of entire communities inspired Nick and I to team up to create a compilation album to raise money for the less fortunate. We reached out to our musician friends for unreleased recorded gems and the response was incredible! PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, Primal Scream, Gary Numan, and Devo are just some of the artists that rushed in to help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cNick and I were lucky. We had to evacuate, but our homes and studios survived,\u201d Haskins said in a statement. \u201cSo many musicians we know lost everything.\u201d The two reached out to artists who had worked with them over the years, asking if they had unreleased tracks that could help raise money. \u201cThe response was incredible,\u201d Launay added. \u201cThese musicians didn\u2019t hesitate to contribute to something that could directly help their peers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe album arrives amid a broader industry-wide effort to support wildfire relief. Bandcamp recently announced that all proceeds from purchases made on Feb. 7 would be donated to MusiCares, while a separate benefit album\u2014featuring contributions from R.E.M., Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service, and more\u2014is also in the works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Los Angeles Rising<\/em> is available now on Bandcamp, with vinyl pressings and limited-edition merchandise set to be released later this month. As wildfires continue to impact communities across California, the music industry is once again proving its ability to rally support when it\u2019s needed most.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/music-news\/nick-cave-pj-harvey-yeah-yeah-yeahs-los-angeles-rising-1235895393\/\">Aller \u00e0 la source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, DEVO, Primal Scream, and more have joined forces for Los Angeles Rising, a new benefit album raising funds for musicians affected by the recent LA wildfires.
