A magnificent memorial album from the prestigious label [4AD] is set to be released. Founded in 1980 as a sister label to [Beggars Banquet Records], [4AD] has been a leading force in the global indie scene for 40 years, producing acts that represent each era. Now, the prestigious label [4AD] is releasing a monumental work, 'Bills \u0026amp; Aches \u0026amp; Blues', which summarizes its journey and future prospects! This work was created with the concept that 18 active artists currently signed to the label would choose their favorite songs from the catalog of the past 40 years and breathe new life into them by covering them. As long-time fans will notice, the 18 tracks in this compilation, named after the lyrics of Cocteau Twins' classic \"Cherry-Coloured Funk,\" possess a wonderful chemistry between the artists and the songs. The earliest tracks are The Birthday Party's \"Junkyard\" from 1981, chosen by U.S. Girls, and the most recent are two Grimes songs from 2012, covered by Spencer and Dry Cleaning, respectively. Big Thief, Bradford Cox, and Tune-Yards, the label's current flagship artists, all cover The Breeders, bridging the gap between 4AD's past and present, and This Mortal Coil's legendary cover of Tim Buckley's \"Song To The Siren\" (Buckley's pre-Starsailor acoustic version) is brilliantly carried on by Son. Furthermore, newly signed artists Elardo Negro, Maria Somerville, and Becky and the Byrds, whose upcoming releases are eagerly awaited, dig into the label's deep history, and the Pixies classic \"Gigantic\" is transformed into a radical piano instrumental version by Bing and Ruth. This creative memorial album truly embodies the meaning behind the label name [4AD]: \"FORWARD = FWD = 4AD = Forward.\" The Japanese CD version of this album includes a lyric translation and bonus tracks. Furthermore, the proceeds from the first 12 months of this album will be donated to \"The Harmony Project,\" a Los Angeles-based after-school program for children in areas and schools who do not have access to arts or music education.
