Bassnectarshared that his anticipated All Colors album release date is pushed back to June 26th, and every album sale will come with a “thought-provoking gift.” In response to the Black Lives Matter movement, Bassnectar continues to intertwine his music and social justice, though stronger now than ever before. In his announcement, he encouraged fans to seek out social justice efforts in place of music this year.
Bassnectar also announced that every order for the new album placed by June 15th will include one free thought-provoking gift, which includes “How To Be An Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi, “A People’s History Of The United States” by Howard Zinn, or “Sapiens: A Brief History Of Humankind” by Yuval Noah Harari.
He explains, “with no live events in the foreseeable future, we are going to focus less on music, and more on promoting compassion, mindfulness, antiracisim, and social change within our community.”
In addition to the Facebook announcement, Bassnectar also announced that the project has donated $100,000 between five different organizations including: Black Lives Matter, Color of Change, Campaign Zero, NAACP, & Media Justice.
