Bay Area artists Thao and Deerhoof join a dozen others—including David Byrne, Japanese Breakfast, and the Flaming Lips—on Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono, a new compilation curated by Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie. Thao performs a haunting, minimalist rendition of “Yellow Girl (Stand by for Life)” from Ono’s fourth album Feeling the Space while Deerhoof takes their chaotic noise pop to “No, No, No” from the 1981 album Season of Glass. A portion of proceeds from the album will benefit WhyHunger, a New York nonprofit working against hunger and poverty.
