A collective of artists including Remember Sports, Squirrel Flower, 2nd Grade, 22° Halo, and Pink Navel have joined forces for a new compilation album titled 'True Names', set to benefit the Trans Youth Emergency Project.
The compilation, released via New York-based Worry Bead Records, features unreleased b-sides, demos, and live recordings from across music communities in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and beyond.
"The title, 'True Names,' was inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series. In the world of Earthsea, True Names are sacred, holding incredible and transformative power. To know your True Name is to know yourself. And to share your True Name is an extreme act of vulnerability and courage," says Matt O'Connor of Worry Bead Records.
