The 18 artists currently on the label will cover classic songs from the past, and the prestigious 4AD will release a gorgeous memorial album. The prestigious \"4AD\", founded in 1980 as a sister label of \"Beggars Banquet Records\", has continued to lead the world's indie scene, producing leading acts of each era in its 40-year history. The monumental work \"Bills \u0026amp; Aches \u0026amp; Blues\" is a compilation of the label's history and future outlook. The concept of this album was to bring new life to the music by having 18 of the label's current artists select and cover their favorite songs from the catalog over the past 40 years. As fans of the past will recognize, there is a wonderful chemistry between the artists and the songs on the 18 tracks on this compilation, which bear the lyrics to the Cocteau Twins' classic \"Cherry-Colored Funk. The earliest song is The Birthday Party's \"Junkyard\" from 1981, chosen by U.S. Girls, and the most recent are two 2012 Grimes songs covered by Spencer and Dry Cleaning, respectively.Big Thief, Bradford Cox, and the Tune Yards, all current signature artists, cover the Breeders, bridging 4AD's past and present, and the legendary cover of Tim Buckley's \"Song To The Siren\" by Dis Mortal Coil (a pre-Buckley \"Starsailor\" acoustic version) is a gene that has carried over beautifully to Song.
