Fontaines DC cover Nick Drake's "Cello Song" for new tribute album featuring Self Esteem, AURORA and more

Fontaines DC's version of Drake's "Cello Song" is part of the first season of the tribute album, which will also feature contributions from Let's Eat Grandma, Bombay Bicycle Club, Mike Lindsay featuring Guy Garvey and more.

Jeremy Lascelles, co-founder of Blue Raincoat Music and CEO of Chrysalis Records, said of the album, "Cally [Callomon, Manager of the Nick Drake Estate] and I embarked on this venture with one simple brief to each of the artists – that they ignore the original recording of Nick’s, and reinvent the song in their own unique style. It was really humbling to hear so many similar responses, with everyone saying how important Nick’s music was to them, and how much they wanted to be part of this project. As the results came in one by one, we were thrilled by the brilliance and invention that each artist had shown. They had done exactly what we hoped for - they had made the song their own."
