Tom Carter hospitalized while on European Charalambides tour, needs donations for medical expenses

Word came in via Glasgow’s Volcanic Tongue at the top of this month that Tom Carter — psychic songsmith and guitarist, Charalambides co-founder, all-around good dude — had been hospitalized for pneumonia in Berlin during a Charalambides European tour. Complications from the illness have forced Tom into intensive care for over two weeks now, and a projected recovery time is unknown, “possibly months.” The unexpected financial strain from medical bills, travel, and possible housing expenses will be a huge burden on Tom Carter and his family, on top of the general uncertainty of his condition.

Given his long history/discography of collaborative generosity, more than a few fans and fellow musicians have been looking for ways to assist Tom’s family financially, and though his IC unit is not able to receive direct gifts or messages, a fund is in the process of being formed to gather donations. Updated information on the Tom Carter Appeal can be found here, and in the meantime Volcanic Tongue will be donating all the money from any Charalambides/Tom Carter/Christina Carter releases purchased on their site to the fund. Label friend Blackest Rainbow Recordings will also donate the proceeds from their catalog. Get buyin’, you should already have these records anyway!
