Description
Curated by Death Cab For Cuties Ben Gibbard, Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono is various artist project covering songs of Yoko Ono compiled here by a generation-spanning group of musicians for whom her work has meant so much.
It will feature contributions from David Byrne, Deerhoof, Death Cab For Cutie, The Flaming Lips, Japanese Breakfast, Jay Som, Stephin Merritt, Sharon Van Etten, Yo La Tengo & more and will be out on vinyl & CD on the February 18th 2022 with a portion of proceeds to go to WhyHunger.
On an album born out of both love and frustration, Ben evokes the seemingly bottomless well of inspiration and enjoyment that Yoko Onos music has provided, both for him and everyone else present on this compilation.
As an advocate, the tallest hurdle to clear has always been the publics ignorance as to the breadth of Yokos work he continues, as she has consistently created melodies as memorable as those of the best pop writers.
It is his sincere hope that a new crop of Yoko Ono fans fall in love with her songwriting due in small part to this album that they have put together.
