It’s no secret Elestial Sound likes and appreciates the finer things in compilations, but A Thousand Tones blows all prior out of the patriarchal water. Thanks to Natasha Home (a.k.a. Sunmoonstar)’s curation, the forty (FORTY) track compilation hosts new music created by cis women, trans women, trans feminine and non-binary of all ages from all around the world! From Japan to the UK back East to Russia. From the US to Uruguay across the Atlantic to Egypt. Its anti-hegemonic message of “perspective, composition, and intersectionality within underground and DIY music culture” and the persons who warm every corner with light have built A Thousand Tones into one of the brightest lights of 2017.
All forty tracks are available for $7 and are included in the purchase of the double cassette, silky A Thousand Tones enamel pin, and the full-color zine consisting of art from those featured on the compilation.
