Noise for Now has announced a follow-up to last November’s Noise for Now Vol. 1 compilation, aptly titled Noise for Now Vol. 2, which features 11 more exclusive tracks with the goal of raising money for abortion access and reproductive rights through Keep Our Clinics. The project, set to be released on June 21, features new recordings from Faye Webster, The War on Drugs, Courtney Barnett, David Byrne and Devo, MC50 and Arrow De Wilde, Big Freedia, Sofia Isella, Julia Jacklin, Becca Mancari, Claud, and Seratones’ AJ Haynes.

“We are so grateful to work with these incredible artists to raise money and awareness for independent abortion clinics throughout the US,” noted Noise for Now’s Executive Director Amelia Bauer. “We know that when the artists and performers we love speak openly and unapologetically about abortion, abortion is stripped of its stigma. We believe that we can shape our future with art, community, and collective action.”
