Box of Stars' Sparklehorse/Mark Linkous Tribute Album Needs Your Help!

Box of Stars, a Philly-based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness of mental health issues, is gearing up to put out a Sparklehorse/Mark Linkous tribute album entitled Last Box of Sparklers. The compilation already has a fantastic lineup of contributors such as the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Cowboy Junkies, Mark Lanegan, Phantogram, Portugal. the Man, Califone, The Joy Formidable, and other notable names, alongside local up-and-comers like Toy Soldiers and TivaTiva. The compilation will be mastered by Dave Fridmann (the Flaming Lips, Tame Impala, MGMT, etc.), and Box of Stars has also partnered up with Minding Your Mind, an organization that visits schools to educate young adults about mental health. The project is in the final stages of its funding campaign through Indiegogo, where you’ll find vinyl, CDs and downloads of the album, signed items from participating artists, mixing/mastering time, clothing, and much more as a reward for your contribution. We’re sure that there are many of us out there who have been affected by mental health issues in our lives, and we encourage you to give what you can for a truly great cause. Much love!
