Two decades later, they follow with Dark Was the Night, a collection of 31 new and exclusive songs from most of the heavy hitters of the NPR-friendly wing of indie music. Produced by Red Hot, along with the National's Bryce and Aaron Dessner, the vast majority of the songs on this collection are worth owning regardless of where the money is going. Naturally these artists are more popular than their experimental, electronic, and rock brethren- Gang Gang Dance, Air France, or No Age would sell fewer records than the Decemberists on any day of the week- but the idea that rock is less central than folk music in underground North American music is not only really weird but a very new phenomenon.

The notable indie artists participating may make you look twice to see that your vision is okay; beginning with The Dirty Projects and David Byrne until the final track with Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene fame. It is the kind of compilation that you would be foolish to look past. Among a slew of genres and styles, the amount of quality songs is unbelievable given the generally simple songwriting. Starting with This Disc, tracks are often darker and more sentimental. With every compilation, tracks are bound to fall flat. However, the turnover rate is relatively low, making Dark Was The Night so refreshing and ultimately a worthy purchase. After all, this is different than your ordinary mix tape. This compilation is essentially an indie fan’s wet dream, all for a cause worth its due. After all, twenty years from now, Dark Was The Night will be remembered as a legendary compilation.
