Release Notes:

Sat on this for over a month out of respect for the cause.

Produced by both Aaron and Bryce Dessner from The
National (with the charity's founder, John Carlin, its
executive producer), 'Dark Was The Night' is nothing
short of exceptional. Reading like a Who's Who of
Independent music and sounding even better, the vast
majority of the contributors hail from North America and all
have gone beyond the call of duty to help make this record so
special.

+ For those unaware, The Red Hot Organisation is an
international charity dedicated to raising funds and
awareness for HIV and AIDS. After twenty years, their
founding principle is still at the very core of everything
they do; even without a cure, AIDS remains a preventable
disease.

Furthermore, the charity comes with a strong track record in
using music as a great vehicle to raise both money and
awareness for their cause. They have worked with many greats
in their time including U2, George Michael, Madonna,
Nirvana, Johnny Cash, David Bowie, Dolly Parton, Sonic
Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Wu Tang Clan. 'Dark Was
The Night' is the next installment in an already esteemed
series. In addition, it not only helps to mark their
twentieth year but is also their twentieth compilation
to date.

Made in the name of the AIDS charity, The Red Hot
Organization, 'Dark Was The Night' rounds up a stellar cast of
musicians to create the most exciting charity compilations in
years.
