Today, big-time big-indie label Jagjaguwar released its new covers compilation Join the Ritual, which features a handful of Canadians (among others) covering artists that inspired the creation of Jagjaguwar way back in 1996.
The compilation includes Spencer Krug covering Jad Fair, the Besnard Lakes covering Slint, Nap Eyes taking on Built to Spill and Pink Mountaintops tackling Teenage Fanclub.
Other notable covers are Angel Olsen's take on Smog's "Cold Blooded Old Times" and Jamila Woods' previously-shared rendition of Tracy Chapman's iconic "Fast Car."
Join the Ritual is the latest in a string of releases celebrating Jagjaguwar's 25th anniversary, including Dilate Your Heart, a spoken word album from poet Ross Gay that included a collaboration with Bon Iver.
