A broad selection of artists have contributed to The Endless Coloured Ways: The Songs Of Nick Drake, a unique collection of 23 of the iconic singer-songwriter's most beloved songs, out on July 7, via Chrysalis Records. Ahead of the release, Fontaines D.C.'s cover of 'Cello Song' has been shared as the first single from the project.

In addition to the Irish band,  The Endless Coloured Ways also features recordings from Let’s Eat Grandma, John Grant, Self Esteem, Emeli Sandé, Guy Garvey, David Gray, Bombay Bicycle Club, Aldous Harding, AURORA, and many more.

In the lead up to the release of the album, Chrysalis will issue a series of limited edition, double A-sided 7" singles, featuring a selection of the assembled artists.

The series will be completed with a bonus disc consisting of a previously unreleased recording of Nick Drake singing the Bob Dylan song ‘Tomorrow Is A Long Time’.

Jeremy Lascelles, CEO of Chrysalis Records, states that he and Cally Callomon, the manager of the Nick Drake Estate, gave "one simple brief to each of the artists – that they ignore the original recordings of Nick's, and reinvent the song in their own unique style."
