![]() The land that NEFOC acquires for farmers becomes collectively owned. Regarding the movement, Lyle said: “The ownership of land makes all of these things possible. NEFOC is an Indigenous and POC-led grassroots organization that seeks to connect POC farmers to land to grow healthy foods and medicines for our communities. The album will be released June 3rd via Bandcamp, with proceeds directed to Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust. The compilation also features Kathleen Hanna, who appears on “Mirrorball,” The Linda Lindas, Alice Bag, Palberta, and many more punk icons that Cooler said in a statement “reflects the family we have each built with each other through a lifetime of art and music-making.” ![]() LAND TRUST is the passion project of Lyle and Cooler, who began recording guitar and drum parts separately at the start of the pandemic and eventually shared their progress with close friends and collaborators to flesh the ideas out. Over a needling guitar and splashy drums provided by Lyle and Cooler, the Sonic Youth bassist and singer rattles off a list of titles including “sign-maker,” “sex worker,” and “pearl-clutcher” before reaching the song’s maligned namesake “debt collector” to say “you’re not welcome to the gated community.” The message is driven home by the song’s accompanying video, which focuses on the man-made barriers and boundaries built within endless, urban sprawl. The song immediately drives straight to the heart of NEFOC’s mission with Gordon’s opening lines: “You’re not welcome, no/ The gated community/ Don’t you want to own one?/ You’ve got to bring cash” laying bare the central tension between the have’s and have-not’s. Kim Gordon has lent her talents to the upcoming compilation LAND TRUST: Benefit for North East Farmers of Colorwith the new collaborative song “Debt Collector,” co-written with the album’s curators, Bikini Kill guitarist Erica Dawn Lyle and The Raincoats drummer Vice Cooler.
