Diana Gameros put it all down on paper, a detailed musical map designed to flip the script about immigration via a set of classic Mexican boleros she'd sung with her grandmother "and celebratory songs I wrote after finally returning to Mexico," she said. She'd spent more than a decade living in the Bay Area without legal status before procuring a visa that allowed her to visit her family in Ciudad Juárez.

The live album, The Year of the Radical Romantics, features reworked versions of songs from all three Fever Ray studio albums, enhancing the original compositions.

The album features over 30 artists, including Damon Albarn, Django Django, and Joan as Police Woman, showcasing a vibrant blend of musical traditions.

It would be a great gift to the fans...but I feel like it's a gift to Chris too.

"Motherhood, personal loss, and traumatic events have rewoven our tapestry of sisterhood. And we've done our best to write about it. We hope this music is something to reach for when you're lost and looking for some deliverance."

"This is something we've talked about doing for a while now," Real Estate frontman Martin Courtney said in a press statement. "The title comes from the lyrics to an unreleased song we recorded during the Atlas sessions at Wilco's loft in Chicago back in 2013, which in turn references a great Frank Sinatra record. This feels to us like a worthy addition to the catalog and we hope you all love it."

"At the end of this dinner, we're gonna start singing songs. Who's gonna start? Nobody knew who I was. I was just this lump of meat on Joni's arm!"
