Music


A new compilation album to benefit victims of the Los Angeles wildfires has been announced. Put together by Bauhaus’ Kevin Haskins and producer Nick Launay, Los Angeles Rising features previously unreleased songs by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, and Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker. Devo, Gary Numan, Primal Scream, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Danny Elfman, U.S. Girls, and more also appear on the album, which is now available to purchase for $10 on Bandcamp. All proceeds will go towards the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.

“As the wildfires were raging and destroying thousands of homes around Los Angeles, both my neighbourhood and Nick’s were instructed to evacuate,” Haskins said in a press statement. “But we were the lucky ones. The fire threatening our homes and recording studios was thankfully extinguished by firefighters just minutes away, but countless musicians and friends lost everything.”

Earlier this week, Big Thief shared a new EP, Passional Relations, to support wildfire relief efforts. Following FireAid and G*ve A F*ck LA, additional benefit concerts will take place throughout the month: I Love LA at Glendale Presbyterian Church (February 8), Blink-182 and Alkaline Trio at the Hollywood Palladium (February 13), and others. At the 2025 Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars performed “California Dreamin’” by the Mamas & the Papas—also covered here by Cocker—as a tribute to victims of the California wildfires.
