Everyday until Feb. 17 the Dark Was the Night compilation will be debuting a single track from the project. It started yesterday with the Dirty Projectors + Brian Eno collaboration "Knotty Pine," and continues today with a spare, serious cover of Nick Drake's "Cello Song" by The Books and Jose Gonzalez. The Dark Was the Night compilation will be avaiable as a double cd, triple vinyl, and download to benefit the Red Hot foundation, which uses music to raise awareness and funds for HIV and AIDS.

Listen to "Cello Song" at the project's Myspace. [Stereogum]
