Dark Was The Night - Streamed Now!

Indie Super Album for AIDS Benefit

What an amazing collaboration of indie music super stars! Dark Was The Night features a power-packed track listing of songs ranging from unreleased gems to supergroup covers. All profits of the album go towards AIDS awareness. The album will be released through 4AD on February 17; however, check out their MySpace page and hear one track streamed each day. What caught my eye was Spoon's contribution "Well-Alright". For hardcore Spoon fans, this song sounds a lot like an oldie from the Kill the Moonlight demos, "Everything's Gonna Be Well Alright" - perhaps we'll get to hear a re-recorded version?? We'll find out soon enough.
