I've been meaning to listen to the Dark Was the Night compilation album that came out a while ago and I'm glad I finally did. It's the twentieth compilation release benefiting the Red Hot Organization, an international charity dedicated to raising funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS. So that's all well and good... but how's the music?There's some interesting experimental stuff from known acts as well as many collaborations that work rather wonderfully. Some amazing tracks are provided from the likes of Iron & Wine, Beirut, The Books feat. José González, Dirty Projectors and David Byrne, Grizzly Bear and Feist, Sufjan Stevens, and The Arcade Fire (giving us some new music while we wait for their next HIGHLY anticipated album).
Sure it's long, with two discs of music, but there's at least one disc's worth of really great music on here. Definitely recommended. And considering the cause... maybe you should buy it.
