Un son dans la nuit

Une des plus belle compilation de la courte histoire du CD! Avec Dark is the Night, la scène indépendante - menée par le label 4AD et les frères Aaron & Bryce Dessner (les deux guitaristes du groupe The National) - nous offre un trésor pour les oreilles. Au menu, des pièces inédites, des duos incroyables et des reprises chaleureuses. Lancez-vous chez vos disquaires! En plus, les profits liés à la vente de l’album seront reversés à la fondation Red Hot qui mène un combat permanent contre le virus du SIDA.
