Cold was the ground

A Red Hot Organization através de Bryce e Aaron Dressner dos The National, compilaram num cd duplo um conjunto de 31 faixas inéditas tocadas por nomes como Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear, The National, Antony Hegarty, Sufjan Stevens, Beirut, Arcade Fire, entre outros.
Todos os lucros reverterão para a organização Red Hot Organization, que tem como missão combater o flagelo do HIV via cultura pop.

Confesso que colectâneas não me costumam encher as medidas, talvez pela falta de um fio condutor ou pela indefinição conceptual, mas a qualidade dos temas aqui presentes, transformam esta, numa verdadeira riqueza!
