Long-planned Arthur Russell tribute album due in October; features Robyn, Blood Orange, Hot Chip and more

Red Hot’s long-gestating tribute album finally sees the light of day.

Back in 2012, Red Hot and Pitchfork announced plans to Kickstart a tribute album to Arthur Russell, featuring an impressive slate of acts from across the indie, electronic and experimental worlds.

While the participants have changed a bit since then (no Laurel Halo, unfortunately), Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell is out October 21 via Yep Roc. The 26-track collection includes covers by Robyn, Blood Orange, Hot Chip, Sufjan Stevens, Devendra Banhart, Scissor Sisters and many more.

The full tracklist is below, along with Hot Chip’s take on Russell project Dinosaur L’s ‘Go Bang’. Russell’s Loose Joints classics were recently reissued, and — as we count down the best albums of the 1970s — check out why his World of Echo topped our list of the best albums from the 1980s.
