Apr 14, 2017 Briana Marela By Christopher Roberts

“Our First 100 Days” is an anti-President Donald Trump project. The good folks behind the “30 Days, 30 Songs” anti-Trump campaign during the election have teamed up with Secretly Group for “Our First 100 Days.” They plan to release a new song every day during the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency. The latest addition is from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, who contribute “Visiting Hours (Alternate Version)” The original version is the closing track to the band’s latest album, The Tourist, released back in February. Yesterday’s contribution was from Briana Marela and a cover of Leonard Cohen‘s “This Is a War.” Her most recent album, All Around Us, is out now via Jagjaguwar. Listen to both below.

“Our First 100 Days” launched on inauguration day with a new Angel Olsen song, “Fly on Your Wall.” Since then there have been songs by PWR BTTM (“Vacation”), Animal Collective’s Avey Tare (“Visit the Dojo,” a demo from his Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks project), Jason Molina (the previously unreleased “Royko”), Women (“Group Transport Hall (Alternate Version)”), Suuns (“Native Tongue”), Tilman Robinson and Luke Howard (“Requiem for 2016”), Meat Wave (“Dogs At Night”), S.
