Everything Is Recorded, the undertaking of producer and XL founder Richard Russell, has united Bill Callahan and Noah Cyrus to carry out what often is the very unlikely duet of the last decade to date. It took place after Russell posed a query to Callahan throughout periods for a brand new Every thing Is Recorded album: “Who would you most like to jot down a track for?” Noah Cyrus, the actor-musician sister of Miley, was the reply, and “Porcupine Tattoo” is the end result. The recording options Callahan’s vocal demo with toplines from Cyrus recorded at Los Angeles’
Chateau Marmont. Test it out under.
A 7″ single from XL and Drag City will observe the digital launch, with “Porcupine Tattoo” backed by one other Russell/Callahan collaboration, “Norm”—a tribute to Norm Macdonald. Russell, who beforehand snagged Callahan’s track “I’m New Right here” for the Gil-Scott Heron covers album of the same name, has launched a string of album-length compositions prior to now yr, named for every seasonal solstice and equinox.
