Bills & Aches & Blues was first announced earlier this month to celebrate the label's 40th anniversary. 4AD actually turned 40 in 2020, but due to the pandemic, the label decided to mark the milestone this year instead with a compilation that sees current 4AD artists covering songs from the across the label's 41 years of existence.
The previous sides of the compilation featured covers of Grimes, Colourbox, Pixies and more by the likes of Dry Cleaning, Tkay Maidza, Efterklang, U.S. Girls, Future Islands and more.
