All profits from the album will go towards Gendered Intelligence, an organisation which holds sessions, mentoring and arts programmes for young trans people.
On his Facebook page, Caribou writes that the organisation was chosen "in memory of our dear friend Julia Brightly." Brightly was a live sound engineer who worked with Caribou, as well as The Knife, Fuck Buttons, M83 and Mogwai.
In an interview with the Quietus, Koko boss Daveid Phillips described Brightly's funeral, which was held at the Camden venue. "We had her coffin in the middle of the dance floor and people recounted stories and sang songs," he said. "We also played some of her recorded work at full volume through the PA. At the end we all carried her coffin together as if she was crowd surfing up on to the stage and fittingly out through the artists exit stage left into blinding sunshine. "
