A brief note of explanation, from Danny Green, Laish/Willkommen Collective:
What better way to feel honoured as a songwriter than to have a respected co-conspirator sing one of your songs? I asked everyone I could possibly think of to choose a song by someone else in the collective and record it before Willkommen Foxtrot, the festival in Brighton on 11th September. I only gave them 3 weeks. The response has been amazing.
They are a beguiling mix of studio recordings, four track documents and dictaphone style room recordings. I'm enjoying hearing these voices sing something totally unexpected.

About us:
The Willkommen Collective has been an active and prolific member of the alternative folk and skewed pop community for the last five years. The loose membership of the collective has swelled over time and there has always been a camaraderie and sense of communion throughout all the various activities. Bands evolve, share members, collaborate, tour together, splinter off; peripheral members realise they can write songs and start new bands and so off it spirals.
The Willkommen Collective intends to release great music over the coming months. Keep yourself posted. Come to shows, support independent music, and most of all:
ENJOY!
xx
