VIA PRESS RELEASE | Midwest independent record label, Polyvinyl Record Co., is proud to announce the release of Stay Home—a 16-track compilation featuring previously unreleased music, demos, and covers from various artists on the Polyvinyl roster. Available now exclusively on Bandcamp for Pay What You Want (starting at $5 USD), with all proceeds going directly to the artists involved.
What originally began as a way to help support the Polyvinyl artists affected by COVID-19, quickly grew into a project spanning more than half of the label’s active roster. Stay Home includes brand new covers by Owen (The 1975), Palehound (Karen Dalton), Squirrel Flower (Emmylou Harris), Hazel English (The Mamas & The Papas), and Xiu Xiu (Kim Jung Mi). The compilation also features previously unreleased singles from Chris Farren and Radiation City, along with intimate album demos from Yumi Zouma, of Montreal, STRFKR, and The Get Up Kids. Stay Home is now available, exclusively on Bandcamp.
The compilation’s titular theme, Stay Home, doubles as both a social plea—a worldwide effort to help “flatten the curve,” while giving nod to the sprawling classic on American Football’s landmark self-titled debut. Fans can also pre-order a limited edition Stay Home tee, designed by Polyvinyl art director, Janelle Abad, PWYW starting at $15 (comes with a digital copy of the release) with 100% of profits going to the artists.
