Tracklist:

1. Porcupine Tattoo – Everything Is Recorded & Noah Cyrus & Bill Callahan
2. Norm – Everything Is Recorded feat. Bill Callahan

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 2018s eponymous, Mercury Prize-nominated debut album. Reaching out to Callahan – an artist hes long admired and whose song Im New Here was covered by, and provided the title for, Gil Scott-Herons final, Russell-produced studio album – Russell asked the simple question who would you like to write a song for?. Noah Cyrus was Callahans reply. The final single features Callahans 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 Im New Here to Bobby Womacks Deep River and Damon Albarns 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 Callahans 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 songwriters favourite comedian Norm MacDonald
