An anthology of twenty three of Nick Drake’s best loved songs, adopted and reimagined by thirty two of the most talented artists across the musical spectrum, the album will be released on July 7th via Chrysalis Records. Listeners who tuned into Chris Hawkins’ Early Breakfast Show on 6 Music this morning would have been moved by Let’s Eat Grandma’s heartfelt and soul-stirring interpretation of the song whose lyric gives The Endless Coloured Ways its title.   "It has meant a lot to me to cover 'From The Morning'. I’ve always thought of it as the most hopeful song on Pink Moon and listening to its lyrics about nature showing us the beauty in the light and darkness and how life and death are connected helped me to find acceptance and comfort after loss. Thank you so much to David Wrench for working on it with me."   Jenny Hollingworth - Let’s Eat Grandma   Fontaines D.C. “‘Cello Song” / Let’s Eat Grandma “From The Morning” will be available as the first of a set of five limited edition (2000) double A sided 7” singles featuring a selection of the assembled artists.

It was really humbling to hear so many similar responses, with everyone saying how important Nick’s music was to them, and how much they wanted to be part of this project. As the results came in one by one, we were thrilled by the brilliance and invention that each artist had shown. They had done exactly what we hoped for - they had made the song their own.”   Cally Callomon adds, “Nick Drake was not that concerned with promoting himself as an artist but I think he would have been overjoyed to hear his art revisited and newly promoted by so many vibrant and talented artists. Jeremy and I also felt it crucial that the album should flow, as a cohesive listening experience, as opposed to a gallery of separate exhibits. Whether we have succeeded in these two ambitions, only the listener can tell. We are honoured and so grateful to all our friends, old and new, who took part in the making of this beautiful set.”
