about

CRACKS is not just a benefit compilation, it is a sonic intervention. Across 14 tracks, experimental artists from Montreal, Minneapolis, and around the world confront the violent reality of borders, surveillance, and deportation. The works range from emotionally charged musical meditations to raw lo-fi recordings made with migrants in Montreal, and even to radio waves literally broadcast and captured along the US-Mexico border fence. This is music made in the shadow of ICE’s escalating attacks on immigrant communities—most recently in the Twin Cities. But rather than simply document crises, the artists on this cassette interrogate the very concept of the border as a colonial wound. Some explore sonic textures of a world cut up by border lines; others probe the sonic frontier itself—frequencies lost, echoes from the other side, moral injury captured on tape. Released by the Lost Children label, CRACKS benefits two frontline organizations: the Council on American-Islamic Relations Minnesota (CAIR-MN) and Lumpen Radio (an initiative of the Public Media Institute in Chicago). The compilation launches as part of the Suoni per il Popolo festival 2026, with all proceeds split equally between fighting ICE in the streets and building long-term community power on the airwaves.
