Freak-folkies aren't greedy. For the most part, they're happy with a campfire and a few questionable substances. Many members of the acoustic underground have once again put their efforts towards a worthy cause. Buck Curran of the Maine band Arborea has curated and produced Leaves of Life, a new compilation that benefits two nonprofit groups, the World Food Programme and Not on Our Watch.
Devendra Banhart, Marissa Nadler, Anni Rossi, and Alela Diane all turn in tracks. Nalle's Hanna Tuulikki drew the cover (above). Leaves of Life will be out June 23 on Borne! Records. Tracklist below.
