Bill Callahan / NOAH CYRUS / Everything Is Recorded
Porcupine Tattoo
“Everything Is Recorded, the collaborative music project centred around producer Richard Russell, returns with a brand new single, “Porcupine Tattoo” - a stripped-back lament featuring two American musical icons - Noah Cyrus and Bill Callahan - who appear on record together for the very first time. The collaboration came together while Russell was hosting sessions for a forthcoming Everything Is Recorded album, one set to build on previous acclaimed releases including 2018’s eponymous, Mercury Prize-nominated debut album. Reaching out to Callahan - an artist he’s long admired and whose song “I’m New Here” was covered by, and provided the title for, Gil Scott-Heron’s final, Russell-produced studio album - Russell asked the simple question “who would you like to write a song for?”. “Noah Cyrus” was Callahan’s reply. The final single features Callahan’s original demo vocal, pitched down and resting on layers of sub bass and complemented by Cyrus’ crystalline counterpoint vocal. It was recorded during a rainy week of sessions in a bungalow at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont, which Russell described as “comfortable but haunted”. The song continues a lineage of Russell productions – from “I’m New Here” to Bobby Womack’s “Deep River” and Damon Albarn’s “History of a Cheating Heart” – that explore a sparser, more acoustic side of his sound. The limited edition 7” vinyl single is released on XL Recordings in partnership with Drag City, Bill Callahan’s long term label home. The 7” exclusively features a second collaboration between Everything Is Recorded and Callahan in the form of “Norm”, a tribute to the Austin-based singer songwriter’s favourite comedian Norm MacDonald”

Sharon Van Etten
Every Time The Sun Comes Up
Sharon Van Etten’s Are We There turns tenthis year and reasserts itself as a one of hermost powerful and timeless collections. Itis clear from the opening chords that weare witnessing a new awareness, a sign ofVan Etten in full stride, writing, producing,and performing from a place that seemsalmost mythical, were it not so touchableand real. Always direct, and never shyingaway even from the most personallypainful narratives, many of the songs dealwith seemingly impossible decisions,anticipation, and then resolution. Amidstall that brutal honesty, Van Etten findsmoments of levity, as she always does:“Every Time the Sun Comes Up”, nowpressed to 7” for the first time, started outas a lark but lifts the album at its close,completes the world she’s let us into, andresets us gently for whatever might follow.It has, since then, become an indeliblestaple of Van Etten’s live shows. This new7” edition features that live renditiongetting the studio recording treatmentfans have clamored for since itmaterialized. And the b-side, a liverecording from the iconic Sydney OperaHouse, proves the song’s shapeshifting,indelible magic.
