Everything Is Recorded returns with Noah Cyrus and Bill Callahan collaboration, "Porcupine Tattoo".
Everything Is Recorded, the collaborative project led by XL Recordings co-founder Richard Russell, has been reignited with new single "Porcupine Tattoo".
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’ 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”.
A limited edition 7” vinyl single will be released 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.
“Porcupine Tattoo” is out now via XL Recordings. The 7" will be released on 31 December, and is available to pre-order now.
