Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith has curated a new compilation album called Breathing Instruments, featuring new songs from Emily A. Sprague, Julianna Barwick, Mary Lattimore, and more. Each artist was directed to create a song that “accentuate the ways in which instruments sound like they are breathing.” The compilation is due out August 14 via Smith’s label touchtheplants.
In May, Smith released her latest album The Mosaic of Transformation and performed live on Pitchfork’s Instagram.
