The Benjamin Gibbard-curated compilation Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono will be dropped this Friday (February 18) through Canvasback Music and Atlantic Records. Gibbard and his band Death Cab for Cutie have released their cover of Yoko Ono’s 1973 track “Waiting for the Sunrise” ahead of the album’s release.
Ocean Child features David Byrne, Yo La Tengo, Japanese Breakfast, Jay Som, the Flaming Lips, and others, in addition to Death Cab for Cutie. Ocean Child will contribute a portion of its profits to the non-profit organization WhyHunger. Ono’s 89th birthday falls on the same day as the album’s release.
