Listen/Buy: https://polyvinyl.ffm.to/exquisite-corpse

Exquisite Corpse is a real-time sonic experiment featuring 45+ musicians across the Polyvinyl family tree, past and present, reconfigured into new and unexpected collaborative projects. This uniquely meta "Various Artists" compilation includes 11 tracks & album artwork created in the spirit of the 'Exquisite Corpse' game, where each player adds to a shared drawing.

During the first days of quarantine lockdown, Kaia Fischer of Rainer Maria began to conceptualize what would grow into Exquisite Corpse. In total, 47 participants rounded out 11 groups of 4-5 musicians, assembled more or less at random from all ends of our roster, with each team working from scratch to write an original song essentially over email. With contributions from longtime label signees to more recent roster additions, Exquisite Corpse captures the spirit of kinship and community that is foundational to Polyvinyl’s Midwest roots.

$2 from every physical and digital sale will be donated to MusiCares. Exquisite Corpse is now available digitally with a physical release of December 18, 2020.
