New IO in its nitie
I was delighted to see Corey Wills’ Facebook photo of this vinyl test pressing for his new Inspector Owl album. Not only does it cheer me up to see a former student doing what they love to do, but knowing he did it on wax is a special joy. And when you add a Lefsetz Letter post referencing Corey’s comments reacting to the Time article about a band that spent $100K on their new “indie” release, I found myself positively elated. So as I drove through the thawing McHenry County cornfields listening to the disc I burned from the digital advance I had just received, I realized IO’s latest was a perfect fit for this activity.
To give you a taste, here’s IO’s 2011 holiday advance to their fans from their Soundcloud called, We Are An Ocean…
Inspector Owl performs February 10th at The Burlington Bar in Chicago. Details can be found here.
