The fine, fine people of the Yellow Bird Project have announced details of a full-length album release, their first, which will feature 10 artists linked with the charitable venture covering each other’s work. YBP have started a PledgeMusic campaign to get Good People Rock finalised, and you can find all the details below, along with the tracklisting for the record. For now, though, indulge yourself in the sounds of Andrew Bird covering The New Pornographers’ Fake Headlines.
“We produced this album on our own, without the help of a record label” said Casey Cohen, co-founder of YBP. “That means each of the artists had to volunteer their own to time to record, engineer and mix their own tracks. The ‘low-fi’ feel, which has resulted, fits in well with the album’s overall DIY aesthetic.”

1. Andrew Bird – Fake Headlines (The New Pornographers)
2. Hayden – Family Tree (TV on the Radio)
