The Endless Coloured Ways – The Songs Of Nick Drake, a collection of twenty three of Nick Drake’s best loved songs, lovingly performed and reimagined by thirty two of the most talented artists across the musical spectrum, will be released on July 7th via Chrysalis Records. Listeners who tune in to the Steve Lamacq show on BBC6 Music at 5:15pm GMT today will get a sense of the wonders to come with the premiere of Fontaines D.C.’s ectoplasmic detonation of “’Cello Song.”


The brainchild of Cally Callomon, Manager of the Nick Drake Estate, and Jeremy Lascelles, co-founder of Blue Raincoat Music and CEO of Chrysalis Records, The Endless Coloured Ways features recordings from among others Fontaines D.C., Let’s Eat Grandma, John Grant, Self Esteem, Emeli Sandé, Guy Garvey, David Gray and many more. In the lead up to the release of the album, Chrysalis will issue a series of limited edition, double A sided 7inch singles, featuring a selection of the assembled artists.
