# Blonde Redhead gathers Four Tet, John Roberts, Liars & more for new Japan benefit compilation
We people tend to forget images such as these, as soon as they disappear
from the news:
The T?hoku earthquake and the following tsunami which hit Japan's
coastlines in March 2011 was pure horror, took thousands of lives, and
destroyed a big part of the country's infrastructure -- pictured above
is the city of Kesennuma on Honsh? island, where at least 930 people
died during the floods and the events of the following days.
It's now December 2011, and we shouldn't forget that the people of Japan
still need help. [*We are the Works in Progress*][1]{: target="_blank"}
is an initiative by **Kazu Makino**, singer and guitarist of New York
City based alt-rock band **Blonde Redhead**. There will be a relief
benefit compilation on the band's own label **Asa Wa Kuru** (Japanese
for "Morning will come").
In early 2012, Blonde Redhead and WATWIP will be releasing the 14-track
compilation. Exclusive tracks have been recorded by producers, bands and
musicians such as **Four Tet**, **Terry Riley**, **John Roberts**,
**Broadcast**, **[Karin Dreijer Andersson][2]{: target="_blank"}** (The
Knife/Fever Ray) **Pantha du Prince**, **John Maus**, **David Sylvain**
featuring **Ryuichi Sakamoto**, and more.
All benefits from the digital and double vinyl release will go to the
charities [Japan Earthquake Relief Fund][3]{: target="_blank"} and
[Architecture for Humanity][4]{: target="_blank"}.
The digital release of *We Are The Works In Progress* will be on sale
digitally on January 10th 2012, you can [preorder the 2xLP version (plus
