Kathleen Hanna sings lead vocals on a new song for the first time in nearly five years with \u201cMirrorball,\u201d the first single from the upcoming benefit album Land Trust: Benefit for North East Farmers of Color<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The self-released LP, out June 3 via Bandcamp<\/a>, is the brainchild of Bikini Kill guitarist Erica Dawn Lyle and drum tech Vice Cooler (also of the Raincoats), with the pair penning Land Trust\u2019s music during the pandemic. The quarantine also allowed them to recruit an all-star guestlist \u2014 including Hanna, Kim Gordon, the Linda Lindas, Alice Bag, Kelley Deal, and members of bands like Deerhoof, Shopping, and Priests \u2014 to contribute lead vocals and instruments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the very, very rare benefit album where no one just sent in some crappy B-side,\u201d Hanna said of \u201cMirrorball\u201d in a statement; check out the track exclusively on Bandcamp<\/a>. \u201cAll the songs are fucking great and the performers really put their hearts into it. It\u2019s a testament to Erica and Vice doing a phenomenal job bringing people together.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Other guests on the LP include the Raincoats, Emily Retsas of Phoebe Bridgers\u2019 band, Palberta, Mike Watt, Bikini Kill bassist Kathi Wilcox, and more.<\/p>\n

Proceeds from Land Act will benefit the North East Farmers of Color (NEFOC<\/a>), a grassroots organization that seeks to connect POC farmers to land to grow healthy foods and medicines for our communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s become so difficult to organize or make change when everybody\u2019s so far-flung throughout cities and living so precariously in fear of eviction,\u201d Lyle said in a statement.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cBut on a farm, you have the collective work to produce healthy food, you have meeting and gathering space for visitors from the city to heal and decompress from their work in social movements and the pace of urban life, you have potential employment. And all this without fear of eviction. The ownership of land makes all of these things possible. The land that NEFOC acquires for farmers becomes collectively owned. Farms run by African Americans make up less than 2 percent of all of the nation\u2019s farms. NEFOC is working to change that.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Bikini Kill finally embarked on their pandemic-delayed reunion tour, a trek that\u2019ll keep the punk icons on the road through September.<\/p>\n
