From Bikini Kill mailing list:

Check out, “Mirrorball,” the new song from Kathleen Hanna, Bikini Kill's touring guitarist Erica Dawn Lyle, and Raincoats drummer Vice Cooler!

The new song features the first new recorded original lead vocals from Kathleen in over six years and is the first single from Erica Dawn and Vice's new record, Land Trust: A Benefit For North East Farmers of Color.

Originally conceived as a quarantine-era mutual aid project after Bikini Kill tour was canceled due to Covid in March 2020, Erica Dawn and Vice wrote songs together remotely during lockdown via file sharing and then asked a bunch of their friends to help them finish the songs. The end result is a 16-song mutual aid benefit LP available exclusively as a download from Bandcamp.

Guest singers and performers include Kim Gordon, The Raincoats, Brontez Purnell, Alice Bag, Mike Watt, Rachel Aggs, Katie Alice Greer, Palberta, Kelley Deal, and many more, including Kathi Wilcox, who joins Erica Dawn, Vice, and The Linda Lindas on bass for, “Lost In Thought”, which will be released next month. Watch the album trailer here.

The LP is coming out on June 3rd but you can preorder Kathleen's song, “Mirrorball,” now. All proceeds go to Northeast Farmers of Color Landtrust (NEFOC)!

NEFOC is an Indigenous and POC-led grassroots organization that seeks to acquire land in order to return it to Indigenous nations and reconnect POC farmers and land stewards to land.
