Last Friday on Halloween, New York-based label Toadstool Records shared their latest compilation, Trick N’ Treats’, to benefit mutual aid in Gaza. All the profits raised from the compilation will be donated to the label’s pen pals, Saleh and Dana, to support them, their families, their education and their dreams. The compilation features some familiar faces to the Toadstool world, including Youth Large, Joe Fox and Mystery Choir, as well as including some new contributors like screen bride, Volena and Moki.
Toadstool Records is an artist-run independent label and creative hub based in NYC. Started by Caroline Gay as a space for her ethereal instrumental project Ghost Crab, Toadstool Records has become a home to a world of other creatives, offering a supportive and inspiring place to expand on their own and create art with those with similar mindsets. The label is helped run by friends Michelle Borreggine [Dreamspoiler, orbiting] and Jonathan Hom [Mystery Choir]. Trick N’ Treats marks the labels fourth benefit compilation.
The album artwork was done by Lia Kantrowitz.
