This is more or less a retread of an older post, but more on why it’s being brought up again later. Back in November of last year I talked about The Cake Sale, which was an expansive collective of musicians and writers who combined to create a wonderful 9-song album. It was originally released in Ireland to which all of the profits went to support Oxfam Ireland’s Make Trade Fair campaign and their overseas programme work.
Songs on the album have been written by Dave Geraghty, Emm Gryner, Paul Noonan, Glen Hansard, Ollie Cole, Damien Rice, The Thrills and Matt Lunson.
Lead vocalists for the project include Lisa Hannigan, Nina Persson, Gary Lightbody, Gemma Hayes, Glen Hansard, Josh Ritter, Conor Deasy and Neil Hannon.
Originally, the only way to purchase this outside of Ireland and the UK was online (which I did). Luckily for us North Americans, albeit almost a year later, we’ll be able to pick this up starting on October 16 (which you can pre-order right now if you wish) courtesy of Yep Roc Records.
For a little taste of the record, here’s a video of “Some Surprise” which features vocals from Gary Lightbody and Lisa Hannigan. I also included one of my favorites off of the album from Nina Persson of The Cardigans.
