Philadlephia, PA June 19, 2017 - Dirty Pillows is proud to announce the first volume in our brand new ACLU benefit 7 inch series. For these releases, all proceeds will be donated to the cooresponding local chapters of the ACLU. For this release, we are showcasing artists from Philadelphia and Minneapolis and donating to the ACLU of PA and MN.
The a side (Philly side) of the 7 inch features a remix of "<2", the standout opener from the 2016 album Slugger, by Sad13, the excellent solo project of Speedy Ortiz guitarist and vocalist Sadie Dupuis. The track was remixed exclusively for this 7 inch by another great Philly band, Vexxed, who are lead by Lucy Stone, a
member of Sad13's touring band and former member of Drgn King. Two awesome bands for the price of one on your new favorite song! The second song on the a side, "Sit Down", is an impressive new one from Mike Polizze's Purling Hiss project that evokes the early 4 track home recording style found on albums like Public Service Announcement and Hissteria. Hiss fans rejoice! The b side (Minneapolis side) kicks off with "Your Biceps" a new song from Minneapolis' favorite garage surf punks, France Camp. This catchy track will leave ya oooo'n and ahhhh'n well throughout the year! The 7 inch closes out with a solo piano version of the song "Kid Kuma", a track from the 2016 album, For Good, the first album from Andrew Broder's Fog project in almost 10 years. The haunting, delicate rendition left us in awe and will surely do the same for you. We will also be offering a 10 track digital comp that includes the 4 tracks from the 7 inch as well as 6 other songs from 6 equally great groups and artists! From Philly we have tracks from Louds, Dulls and Harsh Vibesand from Minneapolis we have tracks from Sasha Conda, 3M 1995 and Cult of Lip.
