Leeds artists to feature on eco-vinyl compilation by city music label

Come Stay With Me will feature a collection of 13 new songs from bands and artists across the city including music from Magick Mountain, Talkboy, Dialect, Team Picture, Van Houten, Dead Naked Hippies.

Set for release in July on eco-vinyl, all profits from the album released via Leeds label Come Play With Me will be shared between the contributing artists.

And while the vinyl won’t be arriving until July, Come Play With Me have launched a new crowd funder for the compilation where it can be pre-ordered now. Music from the compilation will be shared over the next few weeks and months.

Launching in 2015, Come Play With Me is a record label, promoter, magazine and development organisation based in Leeds working to support artists in the region and releasing a series of 7” record splits, compilations, magazines and more.

Tony Ereira, director of Come Play With Me, said: “We wanted to find a way to do something that got a little cash back to some of the brilliant contributing musicians that we work with as a lot of them are really struggling after dates and / or releases have been rescheduled or just out right cancelled so we’re hoping this can be a really positive thing to launch right now for everyone."

He added: "We’ve asked thirteen of our favourite artists to contribute one exclusive track for your listening pleasure, in return we’re going to try and help them in these massively challenging times by returning all profits made from the eco-vinyl LP sale to the artists!”

Come Play With Me is kindly supported by Arts Council Project Grants and is a PRS Foundation Talent Development Partner.
