Ty Segall has announced L.A. Recovers, a benefit covers compilation for Los Angeles fire relief and recovery funds, available now for pre-order. All proceeds from the comp will go directly to One Voice Fire Relief Fund and California Black Freedom Fund’s Black LA Relief & Recovery Fund.
L.A. Recovers features brand new covers by Segall and several of his LA-based band- and label-mates, past and present: King Tuff, White Fence, No Age, Charles Moothart, Jack Name, Redd Kross, Emmett Kelly, Shannon & the Clams, Shannon Lay, The Intelligence, Meatbodies, and Mikal Cronin. Each artist covered and is covered by another contributor to the project with names drawn out of a hat to determine who’d be covering who. Regarding the project, Segall said: “The idea of doing a comp turned into friends covering each other and we thought that would be a perfect thing to do for some L.A. fire relief charity fundraising. One thing was important—that everyone involved needed to have spent creative time living in L.A. It’s been very fun for everyone involved to cover each other’s music!”
The collection arrives via Classic Master Sound Recordings, the label launched by Segall and his wife Denée in 2021. L.A. Recovers will be available exclusively as a physical vinyl LP, with orders estimated to ship mid-summer. Pre-order it here.
