about

All proceeds from this compilation will be donated to Mano en Mano’s Estamos Aquí Mutual Aid Fund.

Mano en Mano is a non-profit organization that has been supporting the immigrant community in Downeast Maine since 2005. In the 1990s, the small town of Milbridge experienced a rapid influx of migrant farmworkers who had decided to leave the “migrant stream” and settle in rural Maine. Mano en Mano formed to support this burgeoning community and future immigration, ensure access to language services and affordable housing, increase educational and economic opportunity, and foster community leadership, social justice, and equity.

Mano en Mano's Estamos Aquí Fund is a mutual aid fund to support immigrants and farmworkers in Maine with financial challenges associated with COVID-19, especially those who are not eligible for government support right now. Community members can request and receive direct funds for whatever immediate needs they are facing including housing, utilities, food, and more.

The first $150 in donations will be matched by Pretty Purgatory. The album is set at pay-what-you-can and we mean that. Every dollar counts, but at the same time, we absolutely understand if you can’t spare anything right now. We’d still love for you to enjoy these songs and sounds.

released May 1, 2020

All tracks are previously unreleased; brand new recordings crafted at home in quarantine, b-sides culled from personal archives, demos for future studio records, rehearsal takes, and live cuts. Featuring among them are contributions from musicians involved in almost every single Pretty Purgatory album going back to our first releases in 2014. A proper family affair… A gift to you from us and a gift— that with your help— will keep giving.

Sending light and lightness to you all in these chaotic times ♡
