Eddie Vedder has contributed a new song to the Sub Pop Singles Club, ‘Cartography’.
The instrumental track was penned for the soundtrack to the Robert F. Kennedy documentary Return to Mount Kennedy, which Vedder scored.
In addition to the track’s release, Vedder has shared a remix courtesy of Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner. The reworked version features an audio sample of Kennedy responding to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
“Listening to the speech delivered by Bobby Kennedy in regards to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. 50 years ago, you are reminded that once again we are at a moment in time when our society can and must do better,” Eddie Vedder said in a press release. “Voting is our most powerful form of nonviolent protest.”
All proceeds from the release will support the national voting rights organization Fair Fight.
