Stroke: Songs For Chris Knox
Price 12.95 - 12.99 USD
In June 2009, Chris Knox suffered a life-altering stroke at his home in Grey Lynn, New Zealand. This album is a celebration of Chris and his music. Chris Knox was instrumental in bringing New Zealand punk and alternative music to international audiences with Tall Dwarfs, Toy Love and with his solo work. Artists from the US (Jeff Mangum, Yo La Tengo, Mountain Goats, Will Oldham, Stephin Merritt, Bill Callahan, Lou Barlow, Jay Retard), New Zealand (The Bats, The Verlaines, The Chills) and the world over have donated their time and talents so that all proceeds can go toward assisting his recovery. All proceeds from this LIMITED EDITION CD will go to aid Chris Knox s recovery. It features deluxe die cut packaging, designed by Alec Bathgate (Chris Knox s bandmate in Tall Dwarfs). The collection features the first new music from Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) in over ten years.
