The Endless Coloured Ways: The Songs Of Nick Drake is a tribute album dedicated to the legendary English folk singer-songwriter, whose work has become cultlishly beloved since his death in 1974. Featuring contributions from Liz Phair, Feist, Radiohead’s Philip Selway, Fontaines D.C., Bombay Bicycle Club, Let’s Eat Grandma, Aldous Harding, Ben Harper, and more, the project was shepherded by Cally Callomon, the manager of Nick Drake’s estate, and Jeremy Lascelles, co-founder of Blue Raincoat Music and CEO of Chrysalis Records. “Cally and I embarked on this venture with one simple brief to each of the artists—that they ignore the original recording of Nick’s, and reinvent the song in their own unique style,” Lascelles says. “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.”
