Montreal’s Yellow Bird Project works with musicians to create T-shirt designs that benefit a charities of the artists’ choice; they’ve printed designs by the likes of Bon Iver, Best Coast, Tegan And Sara, Grizzly Bear, Rilo Kiley, and many more.
Now they’re moving from coverings by indie rockers to covers by indie rockers, Andrew Bird’s chamber-pop reworking of New Pornographers’ Mass Romantic sugar rush “The Fake Headlines,” The organization that allows musicians to raise money for different charities. The project’s debut covers compilation is called “Good People Rock”, and features “friends covering friends and strangers covering strangers,” like Hayden covering TV on the Radio’s “Family Tree” and Whispertown’s version of Rilo Kiley’s “Give A Little Love.”
Andrew Bird’s rendition of the New Pornographers’ “The Fake Headlines” mixes light melodies and crisp harmonics with beautifully plucked and bowed strings.
