Death Cab for Cutie will release a new five-song EP called The Georgia E.P. on Friday (December 4th). The project is available exclusively via Bandcamp for just 24 hours beginning at 12:01 a.m. PT, with all net proceeds going to Fair Fight Action, Stacey Abrams‘ voter’s rights organization that promotes fair elections around the country.
The EP features covers of iconic artists from the state of Georgia, including TLC, R.E.M., Neutral Milk Hotel, Cat Power, and Vic Chesnutt.
Death Cab For Cutie member Ben Gibbard said, “We created this exclusive e.p. of songs by some of our favorite Georgia artists for our friend Stacey Abrams and all the hard-working people at Fair Fight Action. We strongly believe in the work Fair Fight has done to assure free and fair elections in Georgia and beyond and have been honored to assist them throughout the 2020 campaign.”
The Georgia E.P. was recorded remotely over four days in the band members’ respective home studios and mixed just a couple days later.
Today (Thursday, Dec. 3rd), Gibbard will participate in “Rock the Runoff”, a virtual concert curated by Fair Fight featuring local and national artists, with net proceeds going towards the non-profit’s voter mobilization efforts leading up to the upcoming runoff elections. Other performers include John Legend, Common, Ant Clemons and Justin Timberlake, Monica, Indigo Girls, Earthgang and more. The ticketed show is set to air online beginning at 9 p.m. ET, with tickets available for purchase here.
