Waxahatchee and Kevinn Morby have released a couple of Guided by Voices and Broadcast covers on Bandcamp to support Vote No Kansas PAC, which aims to prevent a proposed amendment to the state constitution that could allow abortions to be banned.

The two artists have covered Guided by Voices' "The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory" and Broadcast's "Tears In The Typing Pool", and are available to buy on Bandcamp, with all proceeds going to Vote No Kansas.

Covers by Kevin Morby & Waxahatchee

Waxahatchee wrote of the covers on Instagram, "Today Kevin & I are announcing a couple songs for a great cause that hits close to home. with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the state of Kansas, where we live, has become an important haven for bordering states in the fight for reproductive healthcare. There’s a proposed amendment to the state constitution in the upcoming election that would put access to safe & legal abortion at risk. We’re asking Kansas folks to vote no to this amendment in the 8/2 election & we’re supporting Vote No Kansas, an amazing local organisation raising awareness about this issue."

"We record covers on a 4 track at home from time to time, so today we’re releasing 2 of those on Bandcamp," Waxahatchee added. "It’s a sliding scale starting at $5 & all funds raised will go directly to Vote No Kansas."
