about

As various levels of government took to culturally (if not legally) mandating "social distancing" in March of 2020, we sought ways to counter the potentially negative affect of isolation. We reached out to several friends of the label, measuring interest in a compilation of music that followed two rules:
* it was created during the COVID-19 scare (post March 13th)
* it was an instrospective take on "isolation"

Perhaps the most unnerving element tangled up in this historical moment is fear. Fear of the future. Fear of contraction. Fear of engagement. These things ought not be. Our hope was that our community could band together across technology to share art, which in most every case is an expression of love (directly or indirectly).

Nearly everyone we reached out to quickly agreed to terms and began creating! What you have here is ten variations on a single theme. By participating, these artists lay claim to a simple truth. By engaging this release, you claim the same truth - LOVE DEFEATS FEAR!

Thanks to each artist who played a part in this as well as the kindhearted folks at Good Glass, Full Spectrum and Second House.

"Compilations of this sort are nice in that it allows artists to share their work which will maybe help others take a step back to slow down and be calm in the midst of daily struggles." - Todd Webb (Oahu)

"I am very thankful to be a part of this comp and to be a member of the Harding Street family. There are so many incredible musicians in Virginia and I am glad to share a label with some amazing talent. I am doubly thankful for an opportunity to create new music through such a weary time." - Benjamin Mauch

"It means a lot that we get to be involved together as a group of artists and friends in these strange and difficult times. We are all in this together and hopefully through music and with this comp people will also feel less alone." - Kévin Séry (From Overseas)

"Being asked to share my music on this comp feels like a great honor and responsibility. I am so grateful to be a part of a community that creates and challenges me to create. I don’t know what I would do without the call or reason to create." - Joey Wright (Good Joe)
