Big Thief release charity EP 'Passion Relation' to support LA wildfire victims

Big Thief are raising funds for those affected by the LA wildfires with a new charity EP titled 'Passion Relation'.

The five-track collection will be available exclusively through the band's webstore, with all proceeds going towards relief efforts following the devastating fires that began on 7th January. The disaster has claimed 28 lives, destroyed over 12,000 structures, and forced more than 150,000 residents to evacuate.

"Our hearts are broken for everyone affected by the fires in California," Big Thief share. "We've put together some of our favorite unreleased songs into an EP called Passional Relations, only available on our webstore, and all proceeds will go toward providing relief for those impacted by the fires in Los Angeles."

"Our hope is that these contributions will not only help address the crucial and immediate needs of affected communities but also help sustain the work, identity, and culture of the artists within them," they add.

The majority of funds raised will be directed to the Plus1LA Fires Fund, supporting organisations addressing critical needs including housing, education, and animal welfare. Additional proceeds will support local musicians, artists, and community members requiring assistance during this period.

The EP features five tracks: 'Imagination', 'Light As Light', 'Waiting On Blue', 'Zombie Girl', and 'Shadow Too'.
