Mark Kozelek, Marissa Nadler, Bowerbirds, and Fruit Bats, among others, have contributed to You Be My Heart, a new compilation whose proceeds benefit 826 National, a nonprofit that helps under-resourced students improve and explore their writing skills. While the LP boasts a handful of guests, each of its 16 tracks were originally written by 826 National volunteer Devon Reed. Below, take a listen to Nadler’s offering, a dreamy, but heartbroken folk number titled “Half As Much”.
You Be My Heart is due out on December 9th. Revisit Mark Kozelek’s “I Know” and Bowerbirds’ “Seven Wonders”.
In related news, Marissa Nadler will release her new album, July, on February 4th via Sacred Bones.
