Graveface Records<\/a> is putting out a Charity Subscription Series<\/em> featuring exclusive new tracks from artists and bands like Dosh, Xiu Xiu, Mount Eerie, Mike Watt, Appleseed Cast, Shearwater and many more.<\/p>\n

Here’s how Graveface Records explained the origin of the idea:<\/p>\n

“The idea for the Charity series was hatched in 2010 when I lost a great amount of my stock in a flood. Many amazing folks donated loot to get me out of that hole. \u00a0I was so inspired by their generosity that I asked some musician friends to contribute to the project. Two years later and we’re ready to go. So the idea is simple: amazing bands, awesome music that’s exclusive to each release, fun colored vinyl, and most importantly, a large chunk of the profits hitting charities of each artists choosing.”<\/p>\n

The first release of this series comes from the hands of Chicago rap experimentalist David Cohn aka Serengeti<\/a>, who is also one-half of rap duo Serengeti & Polyphonic and one-third of indie trio S\/S\/S featuring Sufjan Stevens and Son Lux.\u00a0 Serengeti teamed up with Tobacco<\/a> to deliver ‘Be a Man’, available on August 28th. The profits from this release will be donated to RBI: Reviving Baseball In Inner Cities.<\/p>\n
