The new compilation from New Moons includes KT Tunstall, Amyl and the Sniffers, Nova Twins, Deap Vally, and more, and will raise money for Reclaim These Streets.
Music Federation Head of Promotions and curator of New Moons Jasmine Hodge says:
“Curating this year’s New Moons compilation was a mammoth task, and I really wanted to make it worthwhile. What better way than to get some of the best female names in rock and do it all in the name of a killer charity? Big shoutout to all the amazing women involved, and to Will for the kick-ass artwork. Sticking two fingers up to the patriarchy is literally the most fun a girl can have.”
With 2021 highlighting how much work still needs to be done for women’s safety, whether that be in live events, at work, or even just walking home at night, Hodge saw the perfect opportunity to celebrate women, LGBTQ, and nonbinary artists in music, all while donating 100 percent of funds to the vital organization.
The New Moons compilations have had over 15 releases and previously championed some of the best emerging talent. This version is slightly different and has some of the hottest names in music right now. Ranging from up-and-coming bands to some of the most talked-about artists in the industry, this eclectic release shows a community of female and minority artists coming together to make a change.
The bands say of the album:
“We are thrilled to be a part of the New Moons Compilation. As women, and as mothers of daughters, we know how urgently important it is that the most vulnerable among us are respected and protected. So, let’s RECLAIM THESE STREETS!” – Deep Vally
“We are pumped to share our track ‘We Get What You Deserve’ on the New Moons Compilation album! Supporting nonprofits like Reclaim These Streets and shifting focus toward the greater good is what this track is all about—as well as flipping off the damn patriarchy, of course!” – Pleasure Venom
“We are buzzing to be involved with the compilation, especially with 100 percent of profits going towards Reclaim These Streets. As LGBT people, street harassment is an experience we know far too well, and so we empathize strongly with the mission of Reclaim These Streets—their work is imperative.” – TELGATE
Earlier releases have had the iconic moon being merged with someone of note at the time, including Donald Trump, Naomi Osaka, and Jeremy Corbyn. However, this year sees Priti Patel’s face plastered across the front, highlighting the sheer ignorance from her and the government towards women’s safety. Created by Will Power (Bad Nerves), he has taken the original New Moons artwork style and added his own twist, fitting the genres of the donated tracks.
New Moons Volume XVI drops February 10.
