Sing Me To Sleep is a brand new compilation masterminded by American Laundromat Records and visual artist Kate Garchinsky and will feature some of todays best indie artists covering traditional & non-traditional childrens lullabies for charity. All proceeds from the project will be donated to The Valerie Fund, a non-profit charitable organization that provides support for the comprehensive health care of children with cancer and blood disorders. A fantastic cause I think you’ll all agree.

i can’t believe all those bands.
I love: The Real Tuesday Weld, Ohbijou, Laura Gibson, The Antlers, Sigur Ros
and like some of the others too.
It’s about £20 with postage, so feels a bit strange spending that much on something that isn’t out until next year, but I suppose I probably will at some point.
Yup, that’s my handiwork, Anika——and really just a rough sketch. There is still a lot of art to be made for this jawn.
Thanks for the props, Rich!
We’re pretty excited about the lineup.
A little bit o’ track info:
Laura Gibson – “Eidelweiss”
The Real Tuesday Weld – “Little Boxes”
Ohbijou – “Dear Prudence”
The Antlers – “Goodnight Irene”
The Leisure Society – “Inchworm”
The Rest – “Pure Imagination”
More later. :)

Update: The Antlers have regrettably just left the compilation due to the physical impossibility of recording something in time. They’re touring in your hemisphere for the next 5 weeks though, so please go out and see them. They’re a real treat live.
Just received this limited edition pack in the post- nice and early! Am listening through it now. Shame that The Antlers aren’t on it too.
