The day on which this compilation was released is particularly poignant: just a few hours ago, the US government announced that they had been granted permission to use UK bases for a surge of attacks against Iran. This comes after the night countries such as Azerbaijan began evacuating diplomats, and after the night locals in Tehran described as the worst thus far. The world is in a sorry state right now, and that's even without mentioning Gaza, Sudan, Yemen and Ukraine. In 2026, there are far more children of war than there should be, and that's what makes the collaborative effort of so many brilliant artists for this record so important. 'HELP(2)' features a tracklist comprised solely of highlights, combining covers such as beabadoobee's rendition of Elliott Smith's 'Say Yes' with original songs which already rank amongst their creators' best, such as Arctic Monkeys' 'Opening Night'
