A new charity compilation called *[Through The Soil](https://throughthesoil.bandcamp.com/releases)* is being released on April 2. All of the profits from the 68-track release will be going to National Alliance on Mental Illnesss’ COVID-19 Mental Health Support Fund. This fund is meant to provide more widespread access to mental health resources for people who have been suffering due to the pandemic. A number of Philadelphia artists are featured on the compilation including Spirit of the Beehive, A Country Western, RNIE, and Teen Suicide.

*Through The Soil* was put together by Andres Villogas and Steven Danglis who met in an online music discussion chat room during the pandemic. The two wanted to find a creative way to raise money for mental health awareness. The compilation is centered around “capturing a trans-generational snapshot of the DIY/bedroom lo-fi indie scene,” according to press materials.

The cover photo was shot by Phil Elverum, and the liner notes and additional artwork were done by artist Sami Martasian. The pre-order has already sold out on Bandcamp but there is a digital streaming option. The full tracklist is below.
