"Sing Me To Sleep" is a whimsical collection of lullabies and non-lullabies covered by some of our favorite indie artists. All proceeds from this wonderful album are donated to The Valerie Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that provides support for the comprehensive health care of children with cancer and blood disorders. The CD will release worldwide on May 18, 2010.

This is a rare no-brainer tribute LP. Not only do the proceeds enrich the Valerie Fund, benefiting kids with cancer and rare blood disorders, but also musically it glows like a night-light. Instead of the fatiguing feting of one artist, Sing salutes a genre instead, refreshing an old dog. Though it’s too bad Casey Mecija selects “Dear Prudence” instead of “Good Night” from The Beatles’ White Album, that’s the only misstep. Dean & Britta coo Jack Early’s “Making Me Smile?” Sweet! Stars tackle The Smiths’ titular 1985 b-side, “Asleep?” Ditto! Tanya Donelly mellifluously croons Henry Mancini’s 1961 Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ standard, “Moon River,” with jazzy sass? Sure! Neil Halstead’s hushes out Kate Bush’s 1985 U.K. #20 “Cloudbusting,” mit banjo? Capital! O+S folk-out former Big Star star, the late Chris Bell’s 1978 b-side “You and Your Sister,” sounding like they’re covering This Mortal Coil’s 1991 Blood version? Beautiful! (Likewise for 13 more sugarplums—even moody Mark Kozelek’s “Have You Forgotten” turns into pleasant dreams, via Jenny Owen Youngs. Case closed—nighty night! - Jack Rabid (The Big Takeover)

Need your little one to fall asleep, but he's a little too cool for the obvious out-dated lullaby? Are you afraid you're not going to be able to grant your tot's request of "Boys of Summer" performed by the Papercuts? Rest easy. This album contains the sweet sounds of "indie" acts performing all sorts of songs in lullaby form. Featuring acts that the parents remember, such as Tanya Donelly, and those they should know, such as Sigor Ros, as well as both traditional ("You Are My Sunshine") and classic songs ("Dear Prudence"), this American Laundromat Records release has something for any parent who doesn't want to deny their little one of indie cred. Plus, all proceeds go towards the Valerie Fund, which supports children with cancer and blood disorders. Sleep well. - Ryan Weibush (PrefixMag.com)
