Grouplove, Alt-J and other artists from the Canvasback Music/Atlantic Records/Parlophone group of labels have covered Bob Dylan‘s “Shelter From the Storm” for COVID-19 relief.
Grouplove said in a statement, “When Canvasback came to us with the idea to collaborate on a more well-known Dylan song with our labelmates, we were so down. It’s always satisfying to go outside of your comfort zone and try something new, especially during these trying times.”
Alt-J’s Joe Newman and Gus Unger-Hamilton added, “We are really happy to be involved in this project . . . It was a new challenge recording this at home separately, even separately from each other, but we think the result is lovely and we hope that it brings a smile to people’s faces at this tricky time.”
The artists are seeking donations to MusiCares’ COVID-19 Relief Fund and Help Musicians U.K.
Grouplove's latest album, Healer, arrived on March 13th and features the alternative single “Deleter.”
