In honor of Amnesty International’s 50 years of human rights activism, Silversun Pickups are proud to join the ranks of esteemed artists like Pete Townshend, Queens of the Stone Age, Maroon 5, and Adele who have contributed to Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan.

For the compilation, Silversun Pickups covered Bob Dylan’s “Not Dark Yet” – a song originally released on Dylan’s 1997 album Time Out of Mind. The collection is scheduled for both physical (4 discs) and digital release in North America on January 24, 2012.

Through Chimes of Freedom, Amnesty International seeks to enlist support for its fight against censorship and attacks on free speech – whether involving artists, writers, musicians, political activists or bloggers. Supporters looking to purchase the album will also find actions they can take to help individuals whose freedom of expression is under threat.
