Ever hear the Buddhist parable about the pensive hare, wise lion, and a fallen acorn declaring the end of the world? KILL ROCK STARS owner SLIM MOON sure has. Inspired by the dense double meaning of the narrative and the raw power of six strings and soul-sleeved singers, he's merged the two with 'The Sound the Hare Heard' compilation. Following in the tradition of such taste-making Kill Rock Stars compilations as 2000's 'Fields and Streams' (featuring the YEAH YEAH YEAHS, NEKO CASE, DEERHOOF and more before they "broke") and 2004's 'Tracks and Fields' (the only place to hear XIU XIU on the same disc as JUCIFER, YOUNG PEOPLE and HIS NAME IS ALIVE), 'The Sound the Hare Heard' handpicks its selections from the Kill Rock Stars roster and beyond. So you'll hear a KRS standby like COLIN MELOY rub against a respected outsider like SUFJAN STEVENS, as well as such Class of 2006 hopefuls as DEATH VESSEL, WOODEN WAND and DEVIN DAVIS. A grand, gorgeous mixtape for endless nights and comfortably numb mornings. This compilation includes highly respected folk artists such as SUFJAN STEVENS and LAURA VEIRS including an exclusive SUFJAN STEVENS track 'Adlai Stevenson' and also introduces newcomers like LAUREN HOFFMAN AND NEDELLE!
