SEATTLE—BECU said it has joined with KEXP, a public broadcaster and a nonprofit arts organization “serving music lovers,” to announce a digital album compilation “Live at KEXP Volume 10.”
The 19-track album features decades of live studio performances from prominent musical artists like Angel Olsen, Black Pumas, Brittany Howard, Neko Case, Modest Mouse and Run the Jewels, according to BECU.
Live At KEXP Volume 10 is available now for pre-order at kexp.bandcamp.com. The official release date of the album is on Bandcamp Friday, Sept. 2. The album will be available for $10 and all digital purchase proceeds go directly to the artists, according to the credit union, which added that a limited-edition double vinyl LP, featuring a full two-sleeve artwork package is being pressed to commemorate KEXP’s 50th anniversary estimated to be available in time for the holidays with proceeds going to support independent record stores.
The $30.2-billion BECU reported that it and KEXP have been partners for nearly 20 years.
A ‘New Approach’
“This collaboration on the album release is a new approach to the partnership,” BECU said. “By collecting tracks recorded at the Live Room as well as other live performances and then releasing them digitally and on vinyl, the performing artists and independent record stores will both share in the proceeds of the project.”
Added Tom Berquist, BECU’s chief marketing officer, “We recognize the essential power of public radio to transform lives and connect people through music. Over the last 50 years, KEXP has grown into a cultural force for listeners worldwide bringing communities together. We are proud to partner in celebrating local artists and providing necessary support to keep music alive in our communities, all in line with the credit union philosophy of people helping people.”
The track list for “Live at KEXP Volume 10” features live performances from emerging and established artists, BECU said.
Debit Card Available
The credit union added that listeners can also show their support for community radio with the BECU KEXP Debit Mastercard. Every time a purchase is made using the KEXP debit card, BECU donates one cent directly to KEXP. Since March of 2020, BECU members have helped donate more than $520,000 to KEXP by continuing to use their KEXP debit card.
