What’s better to kick off the new year than an elaborate and well-documented reminder of the previous year that was? Not sure what we mean? Well, Topshelf Records has just announced their brand new pay-what-you-want 93-track digital sampler to help fans ring in the new year!
With all proceeds going to the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals - which Topshelf raised more than $1,100.00 for with last year’s sampler - and featuring artists like Braid, Prawn, Giraffes? Giraffes!, A Great Big Pile of Leaves and more, this sampler is definitely worth your time to check it out.
In a post on their website, the label had the following to say about the release:
"We know, we know — it’s 2015 now. Like anything we do, though, we took our sweet time to finish this. So here it is: our annual digital sampler, a half year late! If you’ve downloaded any of our previous samplers, you might notice this year’s has a lot of tracks — we thought this was an incredible year for music and wanted to showcase the new, new-to-us or just downright exciting people making music that we’ve enjoyed this year (there are so many more artists we could and should include on this download but we had to exercise some restraint). Curating and putting this together is super rewarding — so we just wanted to thank everyone who has contributed a song!"
