Music For Iran is a series of benefit compilations set up by Holiday Ghosts following the 2022 Woman Life Freedom movement in Iran. They write: “The aim is to raise awareness for the struggles of Iranian people under the dictatorship and gender segregating laws of the Islamic Regime of Iran. Through the power of music and community, we have brought together artists from around the world to raise money for grassroots charities.”
Music For Iran: Volume 4 is out today and the previously unreleased 26 tracks include Sweeping Promises ft. Kathleen Hanna, Stella Mozgawa & Frank Figueroa covering The Clean’s “She Goes She Goes,” plus songs by Deerhoof, Crack Cloud, Getdown Services, Jeffrey Lewis, White Fence, Pachyman, A Place To Bury Strangers, Mary Lattimore, Mike Donovan (Sic Alps), and more.
Today is Bandcamp Friday, so all proceeds from sales today will go to the Free Them Now organization. You can listen to a few of the songs, including The Clean cover, below.
