I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL IN THESE STRANGE TIMES, VOL. 3

RELEASED ON FRIDAY 5 FEB 2021 | DL


The third volume in our series of compilations released in the shadow of coronavirus restrictions and lockdowns. We asked our extended network of artists to send in submissions – whether they're tracks that they've recorded at home during lockdown or something that they've dug out from an old hard drive.

The result is an eclectic collection of tracks, taking in homespun choral works, yangqin constructions and hypnagogic pop. It's a document of immense creativity in the face of extraordinarily difficult circumstances, and an assembly of artists at a time when coming together in person is impossible

To support artists during ‘these strange times’, Nonclassical are waiving their normal royalty share, meaning that 100% of the revenue generated goes to the artists involved. The album is initially a Bandcamp-only release.
